Reply With QuoteYes, you can use the Nanocom to bleed the brakes. I've used it on mine and still get the pedal going to the floor, hence the be master cylinder on its way to me as we speak!

Now thinking back to an Astra I did a few weeks ago it went to two workshops before me and no one could get a pedal I used the scan tool to bleed it throu the abs plus a pressure bleeder screwed on to the master and bingo full pedal. And not haveing too many landys come throu work and our bosh tool won't talk to them any way. Can you use nanocom ect to to bleed the brakes?

I hope you have checked the booster for vacuum leaks.
Your symptoms don't really point to this but certainly worth checking.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Ordered a MC, bled the brakes again today and back to a decent pedal. Most of the air was in the calliper furthest from ABS modulator. Do I need to power bleed once I fit the MC or I've been using a suction one at work that uses an airline to suck the air/fluid out of the calliper?

If its got a good pedal I would leave it alown

The problem is the pedal slowly deteriorates over the course of a few weeks, hence the need for a new MC.
YarnMaster
Ahh sorry I read that wrong I thought you had fitted a new mc already bloody dyslexic

@nedflanders, if you want to borrow a Nanocom, I have one. Happy to help out, but I'm back at work tomorrow and won't be back until next week. That should help you do the power bleed.

Well after finally receiving my master cylinder and borrowing a nanocom (cheers Matt, need to get my own and its next on a very long list!) I thought I'd have a Defender day, as well as changing the master cylinder I sorted out an annoying handbrake switch (involved adjusting the outer handbrake cable, a pain in the arse!) changing the fuel filter and changing the glowplugs (surprisingly easy!!)
Bleeding the brakes however was a nightmare, even with the nanocom I just couldn't get a decent pedal, took about 5 attempts bleeding the whole system to sort it, hopefully its cured my spongy pedal (after a week), time will tell!!
