Well i decided last night it was time to bleed the brakes and clutch, that shouldnt take too long should it, oh noooo it turned into a 3.5 hour job with brake fluid everywhere !!
First of all we did the clutch, that was nice and easy. Then moved over to the brakes, first of all the Master cylinder was only working on one circuit, the other we later found was full with water and rust doh, so the master cylinder was taken apart, and then condemmed, luckily i had a spare, although this wasnt in much better condition, however after a bit of work, luckily it seemed to work, but we still werent getting fluid at all 4 wheels, only 3, so whats next in the circuit that could be causing the problem..................................the abs pump
probably in one of the most difficult places to get to, luckily again i have a couple of spares, one of which looked in good condition, still with its original pipes on, and so hopefully no water or rust or other muck inside it, so we proceeded to remove the faulty unit, and swap it for the new one, luckily all the wiring is just on a big plug, and then theres the 6 brake pipes to do.
After much cursing it was plumbed in and finally we had fluid at al 4 wheels
So now its just a case of attempting to clean the brake fluid off everything, the floor, the tools, the car etc..., bloody horrid stuff. And bolt the ABS pump back on, which could be fun.
Then the body needs its position finalising, and bolting to the chassis, steering column needs finishing, and the gearchange needs bolting to the body, once all that is done, it could be driven!!
