Anyway - full reco and freight back to Perth - USD760 or so.
Accumulators - Alan mentioned I could send my accumulator across for testing but easier to test in situ. Should probably replace anyway.
Any links or tips to bleed and flush process? Alan also said he would only reco my pump if I PROMISED to drain and flush brake fluid once a year!

You did better than me for the pump - mine cost me AU $1,200 delivered. It was the only one I could find on the web, having completely forgotten about Falconworks. Hopefully DazzaTD5's dad can refurb mine to recoup some of the pump cost.
TRS in Adelaide do a "test" on accumulators they acquire before they onsell them, but I've no idea what that involves - I too now have one sitting here after buying a tested one from them. Don't forget my issue with losing 2 chances to purchase (1 new) because the northern hemisphere transport companies would not move them.
