they could not fix it. Of course the brakes are so screwed up
now it will have to be towed to the house. So all you MGC
brake experts standby. I am going to sift through all the
emails and see if I can fix the problem. I think the garage
lacks the time to do the job, make some money and not tick me
off with a great big bill. Of course, I don't know what they
will charge for trying. >>

Where are you located? Maybe there is a lister near you who wouldn't mind
giving you a hand with the diagnostics. Or at least, maybe someone who knows
of a good shop that knows LBCs in your area.
If you want to tackle the job yourself, but lack much experience in hydraulic
work, you can buy rebuilt calipers, new rear wheel cyls., and new flex hoses
and replace everything, assuming the master cyl is okay (and you said it was
rebuilt), then bleed the system with an Eezibleed or Mity Vac. That kind of
work is not really difficult.
The list will always be here to answer your questions. Good luck.
