Went to the garage to fill the tank, then for a quick spin for an hour. Saw another Sprite same year/colour as mine

Went in to the garage. Sat in the driving seat making 'brum brum' noises and dreamed of when shes back on the road.

Then I took some pics of rust for us to oooh and tut at. They are in my build thread.

If your brake fluid hasn't been changed in a while your best to drain the whole lot. I think brake fluid should be changed at least every 2 years. Remember to top up the system as you go otherwise you will just drag more air into it

I've got an easy bleed system which I used today, you can pick them up in Halfords for about a tenner. My proffered easy bleed is the Mrs. I normally get her to pump the pedal so I can be certain all the air is out.

The Mrs has always been my preferred method.
