Ok so had decided to change the fluid in the brakes today as its never fully done on a service I belive. Anyway apart from the awkwardness of where the res is. But my pedal now feels softer than before. I bled them nsr-osr-nsf-osf sequence. And they pumped through lots of fluid on an ez bleed. The only thing I didnt do was the inside from nipples thinking about. Only just realised there are some! Would this be the reason and where the air is now prob??

Well because its so fiddly to get to they dont normally change the fluid just top it up, or so I led to believe.

Can you change gear ?
My Tuscan has just had the engine out for some work.
Its back in now but they have told me they cant select gear as they cant bleed all the air out.
(Brakes and Clutch are the same Res.)
They think it may be wear in the slave cylinder ?!?!

Yes can change gear. Have gone around again to bleed them, and did the inner nipple on front calipers this time too. Still feels spongy though. Just think I have to do it again, as the bleed nipples still leaked a bit after a drive, need tightening more than you think.

Oh well better get some more Castrol SRF!
