Treated the 90 to new front pads, calipher pistons and seals. Job done and just the bleeding to do. Rig up bleed bottle etc and pump the pedal. Hop out to see if any air bubbles in the pipe. None as all the fluid is pouring out the bottom of the calipher. Clamp pipe and strip off calipher to see what was wrong (spent hours making sure the seals were in correct).

It was at this point I spotted two pistons sitting on the bench and two holes in the calipher where they should have been :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops: .

Then threaded the bleed screw :(  :(  :( .

Second only to filling the engine oil without replacing the sump plug :-)

Of course *I* have never done anything like that  :?

Tim,

Nor me :lol:  :lol:  :lol: . However I have refilled with coolant without attaching the bottom hose :oops:  :oops:  :oops: .

The bleed screw got threaded because I was rushing and tried to undo it the wrong way :x  :x . looks like a new (recon) calipher. Have you seen the prices :evil:  :evil: .

Annoying because I now can't finish the job until it arrives.

i no of an apprentice that after fitting a new exhaust to a metro that was getting serviced tried to start it to check it for leaks & it wouldnt start,mainly due to there being no spark plugs,air filter,oil filter or oil in the engine,that is how i got my job as he was sacked about 2 days later.
