mantasrme Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I use DOT 4 and 1/2 litre should do the whole system. Got around 4 liters in stock currently at the unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEIL W Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 You'll need another say 1/2 ltr to use in the jar to bleed the brakes if you are flushing the system especially from dry. Actually flee bay can source the fluid quite cheap - bigger is best for quantity as a real pain if you run out as you don't want to recycle the stuff if you spill it. A pressurised bleed kit to do the job is easier if you are 'billy no mates' when doing the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupeking Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thanks for that Dave and Neil. That Manta Nut bloke is giving me a hand 2moro. That's if it's not too hot. He doesn't like heat you know!! Cheers guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEIL W Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 If you get stuck - this piece of kit I used to refill new brake pipes worked well. Was dubious of a pressurised bottle next to my paint work but was ok. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gunson-Eezibleed-Automatic-Hydraulic-Brake-and-Clutch-Bleeder-Kit-Easy-bleed-/271566647687?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f3aa23187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get it across to me and i'll sort it out for you, my unit is normally nice and cool. Although i may still be grumpy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupeking Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Job done!! Dave has worked his magic (again) and the car now brakes and with standard rear coupe springs on, drives like it should. For the 1st time since I bought the car, I'm not getting any crash bang wollops from the back every time I go over bumps. No more 300, 350, 400lb progressive rate/dual rate- ultra low- boy racer springs for me. My back won't take it anymore!! By the way...you were a little grumpy at first but you soon came round!! Cheers Dave. Edited August 4, 2014 by coupeking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
