Yeah, pretty frustrating but on the plus side I'm a lot more confident now with the brakes and the bleeding process. The eBay picture for the new calipers shows both bleed nipples and brake lines removed so I know I won't have this problem again

Haha thanks mate, yeah I don't think I'll be buying 2nd hand chassis parts from the uk again (or any region that salts their roads). Rust sucks! Also I looks like I'll need your services in the next few weeks to swap gearboxes

Yeah techs would get a fright working over there, but its was a great way to learn, eyes got opened when I moved here to find stuff just comes off. A (proper) wheel alignment on an Audi quattro over there could take you half a day easy, cut my teeth that way.
Anyway yeah mate, ill hear from ya, hope it all bleeds up ok, if not I can pressure bleed it when I see it next
All the best

Yeah must've been hell working against all that rust! I'll definitely get you to pressure bleed the system when you swap boxes. Brake fluid is cheap and nothing beats the pedal feel of a properly bled system! Saw on the FB you're sick too mate, hope you'll feel better soon!
