Fitted the new caliper with tom and subsequently got flamed on FB about how an idiot must have fitted the calipers previously as having the handbrake cable without 2mm play means the mech cant adjust. Flaming handled, ive checked and the arm appears to rotate back to its original position with no issues.
I took the car out for a rag tonight to check the brakes before a retest tomorrow. All good however the pedal does get to the floor. Googled and it appears the booster allows this to happen anyway but it felt as if it was happening a bit too fast. Checked fluid and it had gone down. Wheel off and found it was leaking slightly from the banjo. Took it off, sanded it down a bit to clean it up before putting it back on and rebleeding. Tested and isnt leaking now.
Ready for MOT test tomorrow!
