Default Brake Cylinders

Hi there, wondering if anyone can help, I have recently had my car in for a free brake check, The first thing they said after they drove it on the ramps was "did you notice anything wrong with the brake's?" this particular garage is unable to get the parts for it and have said i will need to get them from the main dealer.. sooo i did this but there are 2 different sizes for my model.

Is anyone able to tell me exactly what size cilinder it is i need..?

are u talking about the rear wheel clys leaking? If so they do this all the time on older NS minvans. There is not a size that i know of call a dealre and tehy will give u a price of the clys. IF u replace them yourself u will need to bleed the bks after words.

Default Brake Problems

I have had both rear wheel cylinders changed as they were leaking, but they have said the sloppynes remains in the pedal, when i picked up the car, they showed me somthing they noticed, which you can see from the image below.

Basicaly what happen was when pressingthe brake normaly without any intervnetion the pedal goes along way down, with this pipe squeezed by hand, the brake pedal will harden up andfeel more responsive.

i'm having someone look at it tonight, but would like some pointers as to what i can do to fix this, We are meant to be going away for the weekend which only leaves tonight and tomorro to fix the problem.

Please help someone.

That line would be the vac supply to the brake booster U would more then likely have a brake booster prob like a crack in the rubber inside of it. U can replace it.
