RRX Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 does fluid come out of any of the bleed nipples on the calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trr777 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 [ Yes, sorry I should have mentioned that I have bled out all the air as normal, front and back, even bled the master cylinder, still no good. Have noticed that if you pump brake peddle slowly, brake fluid spits back out of master cylinder resivoir?. Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its got two lines then have you have bled from all three bled nipples on the caliper? two on the back on each side, and one on the top facing into the car. I have found that bleeding all three at the same time is the best way.. If you have tried this then ignore me just a lot of people don't realize there are three bled point on the front calipers.... hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trr777 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Thanks, I did'nt know there was three, I never saw a third one, I'm going to have another look, lets hope your are right!, Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
