Bled my brakes this morn and clutch. Clutch was no prob. Brakes came up fantastic (front cooper s discs, back spacer drums), only problem was couldnt get rear right wheel to bleed. Kept undoing the lines at variious points and fond that the rear brake hose was solid the whole way through :shock: . Checked the others and they were all fine, so have sent for another hose. There is always a twist with minis :D !

excellent - always an entertaining discovery... I wonder if it's a good idea for you to replace all the lines. How long has it been since the car was on the road?

Been of the road about tenty years, funy thing is looks like the other three hoses have been replaced at some stage as they are all pliable and not cracked, wheras this one was absolutely rooted!
