Fluid leak
Dead master cylinder
Air in system
Few possibilities
RE: Help lost all brakes - bigcheez2k3 - 08-08-2014
Drums or discs on the back?
I'd say either a flexi hose has split or a slave cylinder inside the drums is leaking.

Drums yeah my slave cylinders are leaking but I have plenty of fluid wouldn't have thought that would take my hole peddle away
RE: Help lost all brakes - John1.4 - 09-08-2014
the cylinders need replacing then, for the brakes to work it needs to be a sealed system, it won't matter how much fluid there is, every time you step on the pedal, it'll just pump the fluid through the leak - no brakes

Cylinders leaking....
Yeah that be it
RE: Help lost all brakes - Danny2009 - 09-08-2014
New cylinders and shoes will sort it mate
RE: Help lost all brakes - daniel909 - 09-08-2014

RE: Help lost all brakes - Toms306 - 09-08-2014

So, you know you've got leaking wheel cylinders, and then drive it around and wonder why you've lost all the brakes?
Seriously?
