Needs bleeding via the caliper bleed nipples really.
It's all well and good getting air out of just the lines, but if it's in the caliper too, you're never going to do it without using the nipples.
As well as claying i'd suggest an iron fallout remover and also a tar remover.
You might not see it on black, but it'll be there.
I quite like the Gyeon stuff myself, but it's all similar really.
Prime the pad properly, which means not just 3-4 blobs of polish.
You need to have a thin even coverage of polish over the entire pad.
Once it's primed, then you only need 3-4 blobs of polish per panel area.
Are you sure that's all true.
Surely if you have bucket seat with harnesses then you don't require airbags and if they are not there then they can't be tested.
I've had various parts off them, not engines though.
I'd recommend a cambelt change at least if you do go for a used engine though and probably a compression test to be on the safe side.
Did they clean the discs when they put them on?
HC's comes with a coating of light oil to stop them rusting in storage, this will contaminate the pads if left on.
The pads may not be bedded in quite right too. Glazed pads can cause squeaking.
I'm guessing the meter will have AC and DC settings. If so, make sure it's on DC (the straight line symbol not the wavey one).
Edit: Actually, are speakers AC?
Just a generic cover that mechanics put over wings when working in the engine bay.
Car need metal wings for the this though, and as it's Snap-On it'll be American based so their cars tend to be all steel panels.
Yeah the SERV light always comes on with another light apart from the rain/light sensor on the windscreen if that's unplugged it will just bring the SERV light on, as someone on here discovered recently.
Should be in TIDL, but as it's CSF related i'll post it here.
Cocked up and booked BTCC at Knockhill for the Sunday, so i'll have to leave Saturday night 😞
At least i'll get the track time in and i'll probably stay for the evening food too.
