What did you do today?

If you just binned the pointless thing you'd have even more room.

(for clarity, I'm not referring to the R16 in this instance)

That 'pointless' thing was dearly missed last year.

I'll stick to putting 4 spark plugs in my pocket.

I'd put eight in my pockets as I've got a proper engine.

8? Just like a Honda Jazz!

Today I did spaff another bloody 30 quid on another bloody eezibleed gadget, because I had no other option to get the pink Corsa bled up. Still, it needed a change of brake fluid - we must have had it four years and I've never changed it before
Why did I have to buy another one of these massively overpriced contraptions? Cos the one I've had for five years and tried (unsuccessfully) to use three times, I now know to have a split in the effing bottle. (So THAT'S why it won't hold a vacuum...)

And why would the vacuum pump I borrowed from my neighbour not achieve a successful bleed either? Cos three out of four of the bleed nipples on the Corsa leak air prodigiously as soon as they're cracked open, leading me to believe that each caliper was an inexhaustible supply of prosecco... And that's in addition to the difficulty of getting a seal when pushing the placcy tube of the pump onto each nipple.

I have however now achieved an air free flow from every corner, plus I have a new toy on its way to me - one of these suspiciously cheap vacuum pumps from ebay (bought in a fit of pique after the first three-hour-long attempt with the cracked eezibleed). I will report back on whether this is easier (less wasteful on brake fluid, less messy etc) than a working Eezibleed... or just another complete waste of money.


Prace bets now....

I'd be hard pressed to return with as much as even that from a British autojumble. That's why I go to the ones abroad.

30 quid on an eezibleed?!!? You got ripped off mate.

Should have gone to Halfords, they're only £19.99 there:

Yeah - and if you took the wheels off you could probably store them underneath it and have yet more room.

So, let's see... altered steering geometry, reduced road wheel rolling radius... I suspect these modifications will result in a Radio Flyer that is simply not suitable for modern (off-)road conditions.

So when's the Golf engine & front subframe being installed, prior to circulating Internet trading sites like an unflushable turd?
