Last night a couple of mates came around to help bleed my brakes. 1 to press the pedal, 1 to open the bleed screws and me to hold the eezibleed cap on as hard as possible. Once the master cylinder had some fluid in it the fluid started to flow really well along the pipes.

All done now (for the time being). still have a little bit of air in there but will give it a few weeks to give gravity a chance for the air bubbles to rise to the calipers and will do it again.

if you push down hard for about 2 minutes there is a slight amount of creep. hopefully this will cure somehow!!! if not I will try a rebuild kit. I will also see what happens with my car when I press the pedal (engine off of course).

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
