my tip is do not get air into the ABS unit. Do not let the tank go dry.

I put cellophane over tank top and then a plain cap. so fluid can't drain out.

I used 1 litre of fluid and didn't have much left

Thanks for the tips chaps Thumbs Up

I have a copy of the brake bible on my iPad, I have the correct spanners and lots of fluid! And obviously the new brake parts!

So I'm thinking, wedge the pedal to the floor, remove the front calipers, remove the front hoses, fit new discs, calipers and hoses.

Remove rear hoses and replace with new. Connect the Eezibleed up, remove wedge from brake pedal, bleed the brakes in turn and then use my IIDTool to bleed the ABS Module.........sound about right?

If I put cellophane over the reservoir then I can't connect my Eezibleed to it!

You take the cellophane off once all new parts fitted and nipples closed.

Part number

Hi i read that you are fitting d4 brakes on a d3 would you be able to list the part numbers an bits that need changing.
I already have v8 upgrade but its not enough. I looked at the fake brembos but you need 20 inch wheels.
I have 19 inch wheels and the d4 brake rotors are 360mm 30 mm bigger.
Are the calipers the same?
