Hi to you all
Well got my gas springs (Sphere) and all so my brake Accumulator’s I have gone Genuine (in Bentley Box)
As some of you know I have all ways had brake problems with this car
Can’t explain why or what but not as good as my last B and I have Big Brakes
So decided to pull them apart and find out what is going on and also doing the springs (Sphere’s) so any help advice would be good
She is RT 66311 with 60.000 on the clock
So what is the best way to Bleed the system and set it up
It has new Pads all round and all callipers are working as they should
So any help would be good
Michael

Michael,
Here is your chance to remove the reservoirs and give them a good clean. There are mesh filters in them - give them a good clean too. Check the condition of the rubber hoses in the whole hydraulic system. Any suspect hoses can be replaced easily at this stage.
When you are ready to bleed, you will get a feel for how much fluid exits from the nipples when you crack them open. This flow/pressure should be equal for all callipers. If any calliper shows reduced flow/pressure - come back to us.
Good luck.
Omar
