It's not worth messing about with safety critical brake system - just bite the bullet and get it from Elise shop

Good call.

I'm slightly baffled how this can be a 'good call' when the previous parts came from Elise Parts and appear to have caused a brake fluid leakage.  If you want to ensure 'safety critical' components are correct, buy them from the manufacturers  - in this case either Vauxhall or AP.

I said good call because Chacha identified them as the correct parts. It's what you buy not who you buy from.

Pidgeon, can we still buy VX parts from Vauxhall ? Just wondering, thats all.

 

 

Thanks for all your help, i will keep you posted when the new bleeders arrive.

I'm looking down the threads of the caliper and thinking that i may need to run a tap down it tho...doesn't look too pretty.
