I'm in the process of changing my brakes round at the moment. We've been having probs getting the fronts to work.
Does anyone know (on a Tasmin 350i) whether the front brakes should be attached to the front port/hole of the master cylinder or the back (nearest the windscreen) or the other way round? We don't seem to be getting enough pressure from the front hole but the back one works quite well.

Cheers for the help.

The front two connections on the cylinder should go to the front brakes, one to each. The back connection connects to both the back two disks via a bias valve, I think it stops the rears from locking up under heavy braking.
