Yeah the engine is fine on its mounts and very little movement. How can i move the res. Dont want to risk it coming off

I wondered this, can i safely just push it back. I did try but im worried about detaching it from the master cylinder.

im having a nightmare, had my car on axle stands to replace my brakesbut now having done them im getting vibration through the pedals? What could possibly cause this? Also my brake reservoir is on such an angle its touching the engine, how is it held in place?

Sorted, embarassingly a flat battery.

I hope so.

^^ should read in case!

Just invade I haven't made it clear it turns say one rotation then stops like it's stuck.

Ah Thanks mate, it would be a bit of a journey wouldn't it. Perseverance will pay off I'm sure.

Cheers mate, think I'd prefer bad brakes and a car that starts though.

Yeah they are under strict instructions. Oh my old rusty calipers are somehow quite appealing now!:(

Well I kept the reservoir full the whole time but I've had the calipers off so was expecting some air but not to be such a pain to get out.

Good old fashioned two man, why it's mine touching? Moved res. Or knackered dog bone mount, it looks ok tbh.

I had read in a tread on here that it can help to clear air from the master cylinder, don't know if that's right.

Battery on charge now back to the bleeding, I can hear creaking in the lines at the rear(possibly air?) But it won't come out. Put near to a litre of ATE super blue in now. One other thing should the reservoir be touching the back of the engine block? It has to be pushed back to even get the...

That what I hope DrRollo, just plugged it in to a charger and it's 3/4s up the gauge to fully charged but I must admit some mornings it struggles especially in the cold. Fingers crossed! Cheers for the advice

Yeah I've always thought that I should get one just electrics not my thing- can't see it, it's a black art. Right I'm a fool, with ignition on the battery light and the exclamation Mark is on so that means dead battery?

Yeah I tried rocking in gear as I thought if the starter was stuck it would dislodge it, I would say it does sound a bit weak tbh. Will try charging the battery first or bump/jumping it.

Re-bleed them but now worse my car won't start, tries to turn over then stops half way, battery from the ignition being on?

Don't have a volt meter unfortunately and not even sure how to use one, if the starter was stuck could I still bump start it? Just that was a thought I had that the starter may be jammed. May just hook up a charger for a while and hope. Thanks

Replaces discs and pads and done a full bleed with ignition on and now my car just begins to start then stops like the power cuts or it seizes. Surely the only link to the brake maintenance is the fact the ignition was on? Doesn't seem like a low battery does it?

Followed the correct bleed procedure farthest first etc. But maybe not level ground, kept res.full but I now have spongy brakes and a creaky pedal. Sounds like air- my biggest fear! Any tips?

It's more than that, just put new brembo pads on today which are essentially oem and they had a good 12/13mm

That's good then as that's what's on them now, nice day doing new discs, pads, nipples and caliper spraying. Thanks for the replies

Anything wrong with moly?

Done a search and found nothing and I'm in a hurry, what should/can I use to lube them up? I've got copper grease and molybdenum grease. Cheers

I suppose when you think of it I'm at most going to use 1ltr of fluid, I will stop being a woman and crack on with it

Don't want to be dropping my psi to 20 on all my tyres

As the title says, no spare on 182s so could I use and don't laugh- my wheel barrow tyre pressure? Failing that my son has himself a job this weekend

Not had time to get it done yet and trying to find somewhere in Hereford that doesn't use bales of hay and bailer twine:) You'd think I was asking for something out of the ordinary, most people I've spoken to ask why I want to check the camber? Why? Because I'm paying you to!

The rating is the same as the Michelin pilots! They do have nasty standard looking sidewalls with no rim protector
