    Do you have access to a Nanocom to run the power bleed?

    Note to Clubagreenie, you can power bleed the system by shorting the relay for the EBD pump. I use a switch on a long lead so I can control the pump at all wheel locations.

    As for braking, mine sucks. Slotted rotors and EBD 4x4 pads and it is sometimes a struggle to pull up. At least they don't squeal anymore.

    Update: The brakes are working just fine now. The process I followed to bleed was: (and bear in mind that the front brakes fluid drained out completely while I had the calipers out)

    Manual bleed each caliper PF, DF, PR, DR. About 5 strokes each.
    Then Modulator Bleed using Nanocom evo (first had to download updated/fixed software) - about 4 cycles with foot holding the brake pedal down.
    Lastly another Manual bleed.

    There was never any aerated brake fluid, and very minimal air bubbles. It took 1l of fluid.

    Thanks,

    Adrian

    Now for the next issue on the list...
