Gunson's EZBleed are the biggest pile of sh1te you'll ever buy. But don't take my word for it - try it for yourself. I had one before I made my grunff-o-matic bleeder. Every time I used it (yes, it takes me a few times to learn) I ended up with copious amounts of dot4 all over the engine bay. > Cost me £30 for the Servo, so I hope it has done the job. Good price. > Managed to get the brakes back together OK below the dash. It's not that tight under there, is it? Just a bit dark. > Whats the best way to bleed the coolant? Coolant is easy. Fill it up, run the engine with the cap off the header tank. Open up the bleeder on the thermostat housing and wait until no more bubbles come out (clear coolant flowing out). Close the bleeder. Top up if necessary. Done. Make sure the heater valve (on the dash) is set to max heat when doing it. -- Grunff
