Okay thanks mate
I'd like to fix it myself really, I just have a hard time deciding what things to check/change first.
When I rub my fingers over the rear discs they don't feel smooth like the fronts do. It's like a very slight bumpy/rough texture. Does that mean they need replacing?
The rear brakes do hardly any work so I wouldn't bother unless they are excessively corroded or pitted and your MOT is soon.
Still sounds like you have air in the system somewhere, I'd rule that out first before starting on anything else.

#18: Re: Brake Bleeding 180 Author: bashyy1, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 1:38 pm ---- I'd like to try bleeding the brakes as first port of call but that means buying PP2000 at around £100. I think it's silly you need software just to bleed the brake system, surely it's possible to do it without?
I can get a picture of the rear discs if you want yeah.
Get yourself one of these, I'm'm 99.9% sure this will work without the software, make sure you buy a bottle of brake fluid with it as you'll need to keep the level topped up or you'll create more problems. There's instructions in the box and I'm sure if you shop about you'll pick it up a bit cheaper

I can try it, but can someone tell me WHY exactly you need the software if you do, I'm dealing with brakes so I can't get this wrong.
Also can't I just re-fil it with the fluid I've taken out or does it need to be new?
#21: Re: Brake Bleeding 180 Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 2:30 pm ---- pads look ok but discs seem to be getting down (quite a lip on outer edge).
DO NOT reuse the old fluid allway use new (it should be changed every 2 yrs anyway)
you need the software to actervate the abs pump so it purges all the air out of the system.
#22: Re: Brake Bleeding 180 Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 2:41 pm ---- Only if you let air in! The abs pump is closed for bleeding, unless you use pp to open it. It can be done without it.

Just use the ezi bleed kit £20 connect that to the brake filler bottle and also a spare tyre with around 15-20 psi. Fill the ezi bleed up with brake fluid. Once you have done this go to the rear r/h brake bleed nipple and connect a bleed tube. Then unscrew the bleed nipple. Wait till the fluid is running air bubble free then tighten the nipple. Top up the ezi bleed with more brake fluid and then do the same with rear l/h, front r/h and front l/h in that order. Making sure to top up the ezi bleed between each brake.
Never once used pp2000
