My wifes taking our 480es back to France on Wednesday so I thought I'd just change the rear disc pads and make sure everything was fine ready for the French MOT in August, NO NO NO, big mistake. I change the rear Right hand caliper as it had been seizing slightly for what I believed to be a good replacement, I could not get the new caliper to bleed for some reason? so I then swap them back round again after lubricating and cleaning the old one and realise that actually its the handbrake cables that are seized, So I quickly nip under my spare car and whip the cables off and check those, (much better). I then replace the rear handbrake cables and rebleed the rear caliper and success its all working as it should at last, it only took me four hours when I thought it would only take 2, Ah well at least my wife was understanding (I secretly think she takes what time I say and doubles it in the first place ),
All I have to do now is to replace the rear foglight switch as its playing up and quickly run some weld down the top hinge of the drivers side door as its starting to crack!
