This doesn't look good, I flushed the brake fluid out of the TRC/ABS master cylinder on Sunday and hit the following problem. First bleed nipple worked fine, over a couple of goes I pretty much replaced all of the fluid in the unit. Great, no problem. Connected up the tubing to the TRC nipple at the back to flush that unit as well. Cleared the accumulator and turned the ignition to 'on'. Nothing came out of the nipple, WTF!. Brake fluid level went down and after about forty seconds accumulator had charged itself. Sure enough, puddle of brake fluid under the car.

I've read on other threads that this may well be the end of my master cylinder (or it's pump anyway)! Is there anyone out there who has had a similar problem over the years and did you find a way of fixing it? Is is a remove and repair type job or is the unit cactus? Any insights appreciated.
