[TR] Starting car after storage

[DAVID MASSEY]

 You may find that bleeding one will resolve the issue.  If so the problem is in the master cylinder.  There is a passage to the reservoir at the far end of the cylinder and a cup that seals it off when the pedal is depressed.  When the pedal is released a small rod pulls it away from the end opening up the passage.  If that rod becomes disengaged from the piston it will continue to seal up the system and as things heat up pressure will build and apply the brakes.  This happened to a friend on his Herald.
