That just shows that there is no resistance on the left cylinder which I presume is your front circuit. It doesn't automatically mean the cylinder is duff just that it has no pressure. Can you bleed the brake circuits independently?





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

They won't bleed that the problem pedal just stays one floor and there is plenty of fluid in the system, only swapped the calipers back over and they was full of fluid
