    Well thats an hour and half of my life I wont get back.

    Was out bleeding my brakes and all was running smooth, ran about 2 bottles of brake fluid though the system. Jacking up car, wheels off, changed discs and pads all round. All was going great until I was on the last bleed (Abs) when I felt the pedal go soft. Got carried away pumping and forgot to top up the master cylinder. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Looks like I will have to start again :(:(:(:(

    Stupid car!!!!

    Time for a beer and have another go tomorrow.

    Sorry needed to rant.

    It took me a whole week to put on my aftermarket dump pipes. 6 days and 18 hours of that week I spent ragequitting and contemplating suicide.

    I suppose I will just have to top up the MC and start the process all over again?

    rookie mistake.... i often like to have a bottle/funnel over the MC loaded up so it can hold a fair bit before running dry

    Yes, you'll have to.

    Also, buy one of these:

    Makes it so much easier and you don't have to con anyone into helping you.

    Dunno, got mine second hand after a workshop closed down. Worth whatever it costs. Makes bleeding clutches easy too, except corolla clutches, they are bastards.

    I had a look in Supercheap, Autbahn and Repco and they just had cheepo crap one way valve things.

    Where else to look?
