RobSR Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Had some 'fun' with this over the last few days..Decided to give the brakes an overhaul and went ahead with getting some new Glanza disks, Glanza calipers, and new pads.All that went on fine, drained and re-filled with some 5.1 and went to bleed it.After about an hour and absolutely nothing happening, I started to get a bit frustrated, throw the towel in and left it until the next day. Did some investigation in the morning, and after a while discovered the Master Cylinder was goosed, wasn't pushing any fluid atal.. Probably why the brakes weren't great in the first place. Swapped that out for another, and started bleeding again. Again, backs - nothing, so tried the fronts, and finally they did. So there's a problem with the rear brakes somewhere in the system. Some more investigation and it turns out the ports for the rears on the proportioning valve was blocked, so swapped that out, and finally I have fluid going to all brakes.Bled it and all is well. Pedal is rock hard when the cars off, but when running there's still abit to much travel for my liking, so I'm hoping it'll be as simple as adjusting the push road in the brake booster.Going to have that sorted this weekend all being well.Collected some new parts for her also.. New lower arms, new front bushes, new ball joints, new drop links, Glanza number plate surround and spoiler, aswell as some 98 spec rear lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rinseep82 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Looks nice mate if you want it detailing mate bell me you won't be disappointed buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Cheers mate, and thanks for the offer! One of my best mates does aswell so i need to get him over to do it. How much do you charge or would you charge out of interest? Some pics from the palva of a brake swap. Note to any n/a owners, it has made a pretty substantial difference. A worthy upgrade IMO!. New v Old Comparison Old stuff all removed - nice to see the undersealed arches are holding up! New Disk mounted Other side - Carrier fitted and Mintex Pads fitted Caliper on, and a bit of copper grease to stop any brake squeal. And a wash and polish this evening with some Poorboys Black Hole Glaze. - Amazing stuff thats made my shit paint look alright! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Had a nice little venture up north this evening to collect some bits..Boost is calling..... How far up north? If you were any where near East Lancs and didn't tell me, you'll have broken my heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 boost eh??? noice! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 How far up north? If you were any where near East Lancs and didn't tell me, you'll have broken my heart. Near derby? Indeed phil, going to take a while, as the whole front end will be refreshed when doing so. Still sourcing parts but got the main bits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Haven't updated this for a while, have done a little bit of work on her.Firstly ive fitted new front lower arms, new ball joints, and new drop links aswell as finally getting the rear end finished and the bumper sprayed up. So 98 spec glanza lights, glanza spoiler and numberplate surround, aswell as rear bumper. I added the bits onto the boot, not brought a new one, so it was fun wiring everything up I did buy some bits to boost her, and I've still got my WEPR manifold and Tial gate, but i don't think i can be bothered with it now.Going to buy an S1/S3 next year. Will keep this as a runner tho. Edited August 6, 2014 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
