Soft brake pedal,Master cylinder fault?
1991 UK spec auto.64,000 miles.
I've bled the brakes,no leaks of brake fluid visible.
Good emergency stops,ABS activates normally.
The functional test in the manual 19-14
"with engine stopped,depress pedal several times,then depress hard and hold for 15 seconds,if pedal sinks
the master cylinder,brake line or a brake caliper is faulty"
It sinks....
Anything else occur to anyone,or just a new master cylinder. Any good advice about supplier?

Rock auto sells remanufactured master cylinders and seal kits. I believe britlude went down that route and was happy.

indeed i did get mine from rockauto, a wholesale closeout offer too, and as far as i could tell it was a new and EXACTLY the same as the one i took off the car, complete with the reservoir and cap, and the same even down to the same casting flash!!!
i am also let to believe they are the same as a prelude too, but don't quote me on that!
rockauto are currently listing new from £91 plus shipping and taxes!

Thanks for your replies. Some interesting prices. Lings OEM £727,Amayama OEM £217,Rockauto OEM remanufactured/no reservoir £71,Rockauto aftermarket £91. What do you think? Don't say Lings!

That OEM price is really crazy.
I've seen several leaking master brake cylinders in the past. A failure is not unusual after 25 years (in any car).
After reading some more on prime and sleeping on it I've decided on OEM from Amayama. Can't understand Honda UK policy. Do they ever sell anything?
Any chance of sharing the hyper link please prolognan??Originally Posted by pralognan

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
