Default Calling 'kind' Bristol Scooby owners!

Having a bit of mare trying to bleed some brakes - that said its a bit difficult by yourself and the wife doesnt want to know - car things an all

I had a bit of a mare the other day when the pistons came out on my AP 4 pots when I was changing the pads - not chuffed - several hrs later after I realised I would have to take the caliper off and disconnect the brake hoses I got the pistons back in

I'm not really a dab hand at this and tried it the other day but ran out of brake fluid - so I now reckon I have air throughout the system - so thats 4 nipples at the front and 2 at the rear

Anyone spare some time this saturday from say about 12 noonish in Stoke Bishop/Coombe Dingle area (I can rely on BigBear but he's working and I need to get to Yorkshire - at the moment car is not fit to drive to a garage)

Failing that does anyone know a mobile mechanic in Bristol - I have the dot 5.1 fluid (from Halfords) - I do hope the AP 5.1 was not Silicone (pretty sure it aint)

Anyone any daylight time this Saturday - I'll pay your petrol, etc and buy you a nice big case of beer!

If you want someone to press the brakes for you I will do that. I'm not very good with the spanners though. I'm at Henbury just up the road.

Thanks Bob

Got Gizmo on the Scoobyzone forum to help out

all for a meet though if anyone wants?

Brakes are quite important when your running over 450bhp!!
