    I did. I think the problem lay with me not bleeding them sufficiently. I think I left a big air bubble in one of the pipes, and becuase fluid was coming out readily, thought I had got rid of it all, but I was just pushing the bubble along

    Oscar,

    Did you have a tight fit with the tube on the nipple ? if not you could of been drawing in air aswell as clean brake fluid and hence way it was hard to get the air out.

    Regards

    I'm afraid I look after the mechanical side meticulously, but as long as the driver's seat is empty I don't really care about the inside.

    My motorhome however is immaculate and that's 25 years old.

    What is it, Caspar, a Crapi?

    That's what my mother said too...my poor motor has been abandoned because I hate it so much but now I think it's time to tidy it up a wee bit, I always keep the inside clean but I noticed earlier how much it had 'changed colour' after it's bath this morning

    Get a stiff brush too to agitate the cleaner.
