Question

I have a MY99 with standard brakes and braided hoses but it seems that there might be some air in the system.

How easy is it to strip down the front brakes maybe change the seals and adjust them to their optimum setting?

Does anybody know of anywhere near Newcastle who could do this and also paint the calipers at the same time to improve the look?

It may well be that they have not been done since the car was new, get some decent fluid, and bleed them, it normally makes a big difference if the fluid hasn't been changed in a while, and you should be able to paint the calipers yourself.
