On a throttle cable setup maybe but on a stepper controlled throttle 0% throttle at idle would not happen as Fred said above because that would indicate the throttle plate was actually closed shut (which requires motor effort to achieve).
When initialising the adaptives, the natural "rest"...
What i would also do is work out if the brake mech itself is actually working as they're known swines for this on the older callipers.
Jack up on the offending wheel and disengage the hand brake. Using one hand rotate the wheel and whilst doing this, using your spare hand press/pull/use Jedi...
The genuine subscription based stuff is okay especially if you work with different vehicles all the time but the older disc based stuff you tend to find on hooky warez sites is shite.
Re: pedal going straight to the floor then returning, no leaks, bled many times. HELP
How has he fully drained it? If there is air in the module then yes, it will need some professional level equipment to run the purge commands. I'd still get them bled properly first by the two man and pumping...
Andy, I promise there is no gasket. That was most likely for the breather plate rather than the actual upper casing. If thats where you're leaking from then its a diy fix but I'd have a proper look first.
Common places are:
Cover to cylinder head mating face
VVC solenoid seal
Most likely yes, its common but there's no gasket to change I'm afraid its a sealant. You will need to remive the timing belt and camshaft pulleys to be able to remove the cover in order to clean and reseal it to.
Not a job for the faint hearted I'm afraid (or the light in wallet dept either)...
Yeah, we talk a good talk but Polish is always "busy" (which when decoded means "I'm trying to fit in childrens clothing cos I look hench"), Kieran is like an international IT consultant now so never has time for us anymore, Simon blatently did an insurance job on his phase 1 so he didn't have...
Very true but for the price of a genuine oil filter there's really no excuse. Air filters and cabin filters I also only fit genuine units but I get them at a really good price.
They're screwed on mate. My last Mk1 toy:

I bonded my Williams unit on that with SikaFlex and it never moved as drilling the tailgate isn't for the faint hearted.

Sounds like a signal error making the ABS module think there's a wheel locking which is making it modulate (hence the noise and pedal feel).
Diagnostics to see what each wheel signal looks like should help finger the offending wheel.

Tony hits the home run... fill the resevoir, open furthest bleed nipple and pump until you get fluid then close that point and move to the next.
It helps to do this with the aid of a friend so air doesn't...
