Hi, Has anyone got a good solution for this? I've searched the net without a deal of success - the only likely one seemed to be Turtlewax Luxe Leather but is only available in America. Any advice will be much appreciated. Mike

My brake bleed screws are all pretty rusty, so when I get to doing a brake overhaul I am going to replace them all. I always assumed they are M8 x 1.25mm, however somebody told me to be careful because they are M8 x 1.0mm, which incidentally are very uncommon. I can't really look at my old ones...

Having concluded my life is worth more than £160 (after members discount on ECP) for new Pagid brake discs, pads and sensors I thought i may aswell go the extra mile and bleed all the brakes after installation. :bannana: I have a few questions which I would appreciate if anyone could help me...

After my last stint at goodwood, noticed that one of the bleed nipples was seeping a little, is this just a case of tightening a little more or can i just unscrew and screw a new one on?? its not leaking from the thread, but from the bleeding end. Brakes is one thing i tend not to tinker with...

Hi there, I just had to replace a couple of brake pipes on my W123 300TD for its MOT... (how good was that, a 30 year old car failed on three brake pipes and the handbrake). All seemed to go well but I cant bleed the rear brakes, I get air being pumped through and occasionally a dribble of...

I have renewed the brakes front an rear (discs + pads + flex hoses + 2 front brake lines as I b**gered the threads). Everything back on he car and replaced brake fluid with ATE Super Blue and bled the brakes. The ESP and ABS light remains on when the engine is turned on. The car is still on axle...

Hello, Long shot request........ I've recently changed the fuel filter but now the car will not start! Can anyone please give any guidance on how to bleed air from an Audi A2 diesel fuel system? Some generic information makes me believe I need to switch on the ignition and bleed the...

I have done plenty of brake bleeds in several type of "older" cars (Porsche 911, 968, MB W124, etc.) with no problems or hassles. Changed my discs and pads on the four corners on my C240T and did the classic 2 man bleed method to flush the old fluid and get the new stuff in all the four corners...

Changed both tie rods and ball joints and my fuel consumption increased. Had the tracking done after 1000 miles and my fuel consumption has returned. How? While I am on here is there a tool for removing the alternator pulley as I am trying to renew mine? What is the size of the brake bleed...

I have a 1998 E300 td estate with the self adjusting rear shock absorbers . I topped up the power steering tank with oil supplied by German Swedish French after being told it was correct , but after a little while the shocks did not work and i got a pair off a scrap car , but when I started...

Hello all, Thought I'd be clever and bleed the brakes on my W124 300D this pm. All went well, brake fluid nice and clean again. I was using an eezibleed one-man bottle device at 10psi, and it overfilled the reservoir. I syphoned-out the excess, and I mopped-up as best as I could, though...

Does anyone know how to fill the cooling system in an ML270 after replacing the engine. I have filled the radiator via the top hose but how do you bleed the air from the rest of the system. Cheers

I have just replaced the engine (cracked head) and fuel filter can anyone tell me how bleed the air from the fuel lines and filter. Is there a lift pump in the fuel tank? When I disconnect the fuel lines from the tank and crank the engine no fuel flows from either line. Should I have filled the...

As above. My lovely merc coughed and spluttered to a standstill this morning. I noticed that there is a lot of air flowing through the clear plastic pipes next to the fuel filter. I'm pretty sure this is what's causing the problem but I'm not too sure how to bleed the air out. Any ideas...
