  1. Hi. I've got quite a problem with my 1990 LS400. Last month it started losing brake fluid, and the brakes didn't seem as clever as they used too (not that they were great in the first place). Anyway, after i checked them all, i found the front flexi hoses were bulging and one of them had a gash on it which is where the fluid was escaping. I ordered a set of Goodridge flexi's as i've had very impressive results on other cars i've had. and i ordered a new set of pads at the same time. I fitted all the new gear, and bled the brakes in the usual fashion and now the pedal goes straight to the floor with absolutly no braking effort. I've bled them again, including bleeding the master cylinder and ABS pump and i've also bled it with the ignition on. When the brake pedal is released you can hear air gurgling in the master cylinder. As much as i try i just cant expell the air out of the system. This is somewhat annoying, as it has rendered the car useless. Is there any special way of bleeding the system, or will it be the case that the master cylinder has gone for a burton, and if so can you get service kits for it or will i have to bite the bullit and buy a new one? The car only cost £600, and i dont want to spend a fortune repairing it every few months. Any advice will be usefull. Thanks.
