Quick question, probably for the master, I assume what I need to do is activate the pump and bleed as normal? Does it have to be pressure bled too/pump pedal or will the pump be man enough to draw in the fresh fluid as required (as long as I keep the reservoir topped up of course)?

:y The pump is certainly man enough to pull the fresh fluid through. Only run the pump in short bursts though, 1 minute(ish) at a time :y

That's what I thought... 1 minute at a time should be enough to clear each wheel line anyway.

Done today at Johnnycboy's... Had to pump pedal as well as run pump. Got loads of air out from the NSR line (the one which failed) although it was all small bubbles but very little from any of the others.

Good to know I've got fresh fluid throughout now though and have superb pedal. Judder when ABS cuts in seems to have gone now too :y :y (although I'll have to do a more thorough test tomorrow without SWMBO in the car ::))
