If I have got a rusty master cylinder, I would rather find out about it when the car is standing still. The alternative is to hide the problem, then it will only come to light when a hose bursts and you are trying to slow down on one brake circuit and you have no choice but to push the pedal to the floor.

I agree. I think if a MC can't survive more than normal travel ... then it needed fixing anyway!

I'd rather be alive .. than dead with a few extra dollars in my pocket.
