As iv mentioned in previouse threads iv recently bought a 2.0 nova. I had to upgrade the brakes when I got it as they were 1.4 breakes and didnt work. (hadnt been bled apparantly) so I bought some 2.0 16v discs pads and callipers which I fitted today. When it came to bleeding them tho the pedal starts to feel a tiny bit hard and then nothing again, and I can hear like pressure being released under the resevoir bottle and the fluid bubbles like hell. I checked the rubbers and they seem ok. Retaining clips seem bit fkud but it clips into place ok. Iv got fluid coming out the nipple but only half heartedly.

If anyone no's what this could be PLEASE HELP. Regards

Take the bleed nipples out and clean out the fluid passageway, I use nozzle cleaners for this, give it a blowthrough with an air line.
