So, it was a productive few hours…
 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge So now for my first few of many stupid questions… With the ignition off, and the ABS unit powered down, am I correct in assuming that all of the valves are open and that the 4 lines/circuits from the master cylinder to each caliper piston are connected? If so, then am I correct in thinking that a conventional bleeding procedure would be sufficient? I note Bluest at al. comments above, and after installation I used my Gunsons Eezibleed to try and get as much air out as possible. The reason I ask is that I can’t understand what the Nanocom power bleed procedure achieves? I wanted to check before I enlist the support of SiCastle and his magic box 👍👍 |

Power bleed is using the internal pump in ABS modulator to push fluid into the brake callipers, instead of using easy bleed or any other way to bleed it. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo

Aha thanks Mad Tom.
I did think that might be the case but wanted to check. When I was using the Eezi Bleed, my thinking was that I was achieving pretty much the same - albeit less efficiently. I haven’t had chance to test the brakes yet but I now can’t see any reason why it won’t be as ‘good as new.’ |

When I tried this I couldn't get any fluid to actually flow from the caliper bleed nipple. Be interested to know if anyone else has had any success. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

Well…
It’s taken me a while for all sorts of unfortunate reasons but I am now amigo free. Better still, I have a new MOT with no advisories. Even better, better still, I have fully functioning brakes. Quite a few sagas along the way to compound matters such as the fluid level switch wiring snapping in an inconspicuous place and the reservoir grommets/bushes leaking but all now ship shape and Bristol fashion. My thanks to forum members for sharing your wisdom and to Sicastle71 for his invaluable help 👍👍👍 |
