Members' Cars / Long term often abandoned 1990 driver project
Hey all,

So heres my mk2 shes been off the road since 2017 due to a worryingly amount of questionable repairs structural/mechanical and visual. I have a young family, full time (all the time) job where I help other people's car dreams come true. At most over the last few years I have probably been able to spend one or two weekends a year working on the old girl. But ive had a huge break through probably the biggest in recent memory.....

We have finally chosen the colour and ive been able to so far paint the bonnet and wings!!!

Judge to your hearts content the chosen color is jlr velocity blue with extra violet pearl.

General Chat / Re: Brake bleed kits
I have used A, B and C before A was a complete waste of time B and C were just as bad. From years of experience my top 3 (not in order)...

Pressure bleed
Good old fashioned pedal pumping
And believe it or not....

Gravity bleeding.

My best results have come from gravity bleeding, brim the reservoir pump the pedal a few times before bleeding a corner put your pipe on the nipple pipe in bottle of fluid crack the nipple walk away for 10 mins.

This method i still to this day prefer as much as it is frowned on.
