Already completed the final test driving session and the car is ready for collection so just updates from the weekend....

1st round of pressure bleeding.

















After that, while keeping the BR system under pressure, changed the eng oil + filter.
About 300cc of old oil was sucked out from the top.

Usual procedure of filling the new filter with fresh eng oil but probably overkill.
















Started the ABS flushing procedure but over the last 2years, the condition got worse and requiring many extra flushes.
Got tired of dealing with the leaky solenoids so back to brake bleeding…..















No wet marking at all on all of the fittings, pipes, hoses, etc over a few hours so happy with the result.
Already the pedal felt rock solid but as my standard procedure, bounce the car and went through the 2nd round of pressure bleeding.















As the pads and the discs are going to be re-used, set the fluid level to here and not at the max line.

















While warming up the engine in preparation for the compression check, adjusted the parking brake cable.

The compression test data will be sent to the owner through email.
Nothing new and just needs driving much more frequently in order to keep the valve seat healthy.
















TH body still clean and VVIS butterfly screws were fine.
