Estate MOT Tomorow....

[Toms306]

Hmm, seems like a lot to go wrong there!

Also, is it difficult to bleed ABS brakes? Its the bleeding I'm more worried about than the hose itself really. I don't mind buying an 'eezibleed' thing on halfords trade so I can do it on my own...was a right pain doing it the old fashioned way in college.

[Niall]

No it's the same as a non abs circuit. Infact if you've got pug planet, it's easier as you can use the abs pump to bleed them.

It's really not that difficult Tom. What I listed was worst case scenarios. Doubtful it will be anywhere near that bad!

[Toms306]

Oh right, theres nothing special you have to do to open all the valves then, theyre just all open with engine off?

And yeah I guess it cant be that bad....worse case scenario I still have the avensis here atm anyway.

[Niall]

Nope nothing special. It's literally the same as bleeding a car with no abs at all.

Should take you no more than half hour a side if things are a bit rusty.

Is that 'you' meaning most people or 'you' meaning me in particular?

Might give it a go then.....will have to price up hoses and fluid (I take it 306s are DOT4) and see how much it'll cost.

Hoses from ECP are about £10 each and fluid from halfords for a litre on trade (could easily get away with half a litre) is about 4 quid.

[Toms306]

Not too bad then, will let Sam know and I'll probably give it a go then..........have you managed to talk me into this!? Lol.

[Eeyore]

Yes, it's a sister company to ECP. Only, cheaper

Also, I've used this company on eBay before - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-306-1-...669wt_1188 Really good quality parts (plus 2 year warranty which I know they honour).

[Toms306]

No that isn't the right website lol, its .co.UK, not .Com!


And Danny, no I still don't like it, slow, noisy, feels like its falling apart....and its diablo!

There's now an odd mettalic 'ringing/vibrating' engine noise which has started though, first noticed it this morning, no idea what that might be, but for now I just hope it keeps running! . Probably just my hypo-car-dria though!

[Tom]

You've changed a turbo and clutch on the floor, but worried about brakes? Your backwards lad! hahaha :p

[Toms306]

As I've said before....brakes are the most important thing on the car....you need to stop in an emergency rather than hitting the brakes, nothing happening and and writing off the aston infront!

[Toms306]

Just looked on that site for shafts, they were about 80 quid each! But then I read this....its ok if you're not in a rush!

thats quite an expensive shaft mate. I reckon you could find one cheaper.

[Toms306]

I could indeed, 15 quid from the scrappy.

[Danny2009]

My bad! Ahh no pleasing you is there Tom

[Toms306]

Ahh no pleasing you is there Tom

Correct.

[Toms306]

Front brakes are normally very easy. Best thing to do is go and buy a proper brake pipe spanner (only about 5 quid from halfrauds) and WD it the day before.

Anyone know what size brake pipe spanner for the Lucas 266 calipers?

[Niall]

The spanner halfords sell is double ended and has the sizes for both front and rear brakes.

[Toms306]

Oh right, cheers.
