GMG said:...interesting and Iain after my recent engine rebuild and replacement over gearbox brake lines replacement the brakes were bled (takijg litres of fluid) however an inner rear drivers side nipple sheared thus this couldn't be bled...should I worry that air might be trapped in this short brake line leading to a less than perfect brake feel?
In other words do I need to rush to remove caliper and have a new bleed nipple fitted?
Stoo.c said:A decent 'basic' service is still so much more than just a 'stamp in the book'. At a cheap backstreet garage then yes its probably just an oil and filter change but its very different at a quality specialist. One thing I didnt consider which my indy did as part of the most basic service was to use PIWIS to check cam deviation (which I cant do given I dont have PIWIS) and the peace of mind it gave me to be told I had 0 degree deviation between both banks and the crank was really great for me to hear (later engine so cam sensor on each bank). He also pressure tested my coolant system - again great to know that I dont have any slow leaks. Despite knowing my car inside out, it gave me great confidence in its condition - its a nice feeling.
