Hmm, seems like a lot to go wrong there! 
Also, is it difficult to bleed ABS brakes? Its the bleeding I'm more worried about than the hose itself really. I don't mind buying an 'eezibleed' thing on halfords trade so I can do it on my own...was a right pain doing it the old fashioned way in college.

No it's the same as a non abs circuit. Infact if you've got pug planet, it's easier as you can use the abs pump to bleed them.
It's really not that difficult Tom. What I listed was worst case scenarios. Doubtful it will be anywhere near that bad!

Oh right, theres nothing special you have to do to open all the valves then, theyre just all open with engine off?
And yeah I guess it cant be that bad....worse case scenario I still have the avensis here atm anyway.

Nope nothing special. It's literally the same as bleeding a car with no abs at all.
Should take you no more than half hour a side if things are a bit rusty.

Is that 'you' meaning most people or 'you' meaning me in particular? 
Might give it a go then.....will have to price up hoses and fluid (I take it 306s are DOT4) and see how much it'll cost.

Hoses from ECP are about £10 each and fluid from halfords for a litre on trade (could easily get away with half a litre) is about 4 quid.

Yes, it's a sister company to ECP. Only, cheaper
Also, I've used this company on eBay before - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-306-1-...669wt_1188 Really good quality parts (plus 2 year warranty which I know they honour).

No that isn't the right website lol, its .co.UK, not .Com!
And Danny, no I still don't like it, slow, noisy, feels like its falling apart....and its diablo!
There's now an odd mettalic 'ringing/vibrating' engine noise which has started though, first noticed it this morning, no idea what that might be, but for now I just hope it keeps running! . Probably just my hypo-car-dria though!

As I've said before....brakes are the most important thing on the car....you need to stop in an emergency rather than hitting the brakes, nothing happening and and writing off the aston infront!

Anyone know what size brake pipe spanner for the Lucas 266 calipers?
