Well Chris came down and did the brakes with me and i have alittle more but not much so its fail lol

The hydro holds much more brake fluid than the servo cvan chuck at it when bleeding the system normaly so its going to have to have to be pressure bled (why does that not look right) as there is still loads of air in it even though they have been done propley

Will be getting this done sunday fingers crossed it works

Fitted my coilovers today got the car nice and low BUT one of the rears the colar (forgot the proper name) is fooked cant turn it have tried with a hammer and screwdriver as i couldnt turn it with the C spanner and its just fooking the metal so its now soaking in WD hope it sorted otherwise i'll have to get it cut off and one made up.

These are nice and hard aswell the others i had were far to soft.

AND YES I KNOW I NEED SPACERS OR BETTER WHEELS I AM SAVING FOR SOME NICE 10J rims at the moment.

nice but don't mean to piss on ya chip but I bet the thread is f..ked cause its a fine thread and being aluminum it will have picked up and with the use of a hammer etc trying to turn it, it has probably made it worse. If it doesn't budge use a chisel and hit the nut as if to split it but don't go all he way through. By doing this it will stretch the nut freeing it off hopefully.Let us know how ya get on grin

just to add if you feel nervous with the grinder or chisel method you can get nut splitters for a couple of quid on ebay which may do the job, but is just like a chisel and hammer method. You want to speak to tony 220 turbo as am sure he could machine you a new one if needed
