Bleeding brakes
This is how i did it. Uncover the ABS pump in the boot on the drivers side wheel arch cover. Jack car up on all 4 corners Take wheels off Take some air bubble tubing (for a fish tank) and place it over the bleed nipple on all 4 calipers, and both bleed nipples on the ABS unit. Having someone pump the brakes while you top up the brake fluid helps, use a empty container and feed the excess fluid from the air bubble tubing, with the air bubble tubing, you will clearly see the air, once the tube is pumping air free fluid, do the nipple up. I bleed them in this order. Bleed the ABS Bleed the rear brakes Bleed the front brakes Bleed the ABS again Check, if all is ok, the peddle should stiffen up every time. if there is still air in the system, it will feel soft and spongy. ive heard rumors that you should do it, passenger side, drivers side fronts, the rear drivers, rear passenger side, then the ABS unit. but when i did that i found that i still had plenty of air in the system.

My uk Zed
If the rust is on the rear wheel arches, then MJP a seller on here can get OEM replacements, but you will need a competent welder to get them on the car with out causing panel warp

SWB Non turbo manual
Do you know when the work was done, and if they used a genuine water pump? as 3rd party ones have been known to fail faster than a OEM one, also check up and around the two front water hoses that connect the engine to the rad, there are two rubber pipes on the top one where the water can leak from.

Hicas arm replacement tech
LOL well, thanks for that jeff, im no longer confused in anyway shape or form, so it wasn't my plight yesterday that prompted this write up? either way, thank you very much. Would also like to point out to everyone, that the reason the MOT guy thought it was a wheel bearing on my zed, was due to how he checked, Grabbing the tire in a quarter to 3 position, and wiggling it right to left, yielded movement. I questioned this as with a wheel bearing, i was sure you would be looking at a 360 degree wobble, and not one that just occurred from right to left, (left to right it was solid)

another hicas Q
LOL same here, strange that i changed my brake pads the other day, and now have a hicas fault that the MOT guy thought was a wheel bearing, i did the same thing, went out and scrutinised my work till i tracked down what the real issue was.

another hicas Q
Did you do the calipers up tight enough?

another hicas Q
What speed does it come in at? a few things on a N/A Wheel balancing. Center bearing on the prop shaft. Warped disks. Warped calipers.

Lower insurance costs for the lads....
Pointless company to be honest, they pray on the fact that women think they get cheaper insurance yet women can get cheaper else where. my friend said that her quote was £1000 dearer with sheilas wheels than the company she eventually ended up with.

911 996 coupe or cabrio
If it was me, id go with the one that I wanted, not what others wanted me to drive, i wouldn't care about being a "status" symbol, after all i own a zed so, not much difference lol If you can afford the maintenance, go with the one YOU want to drive. you can always sell it and get a different style one later if it doesnt work out.
