Have you managed to get the rears bled now? What was the problem?

Hello
yes all sorted i think must have been air in the rear calipers . I did a bit of detictive work by seperating and blocking off the rear circuit first to proove the fronts were ok. Then when happy with them it had to be the rears so i removed the calipers and bench tested them on there own. clamped up the pistons and they worked . I am thinking of putting a 2lb residual valve on the system as it will help with the pedal feel.

Keep it up - the light at the end of the tunnel must be very close now!

been busy today engine and exhaust fitted along with bumpers all bolted up and fitted front pedal tray.

Moved under its own power today gears engage smooth . just need to fit rear spli pins and i think it is MOT time!!!!!!!!!!
