[coolant flush advise please]

Not recommended - unless you can remove ALL of the water used in the flushing process all you will do is dilute the strength of the super expensive replacement coolant. (unless of course you have access to an air compressor to blow the water out).

If you want to flush something then choose the radiator and disconnect both hoses first.

[GEN 4-5-6-7 poly ENGINE MOUNTS and GT4 REAR DIFF MOUNT]

The red rear mount I suspect will be too stiff for normal use. I fitted red poly inserts on my rear one a few weeks ago but removed it at the weekend as the vibration was too much to bear.

I'm left with a poly front insert which by itself is a vast improvement on the old rubber original.

[Plugging braided brake lines]

These have served me well over the years for splitting the hydraulics.

The rubber washers seal banjo fittings reasonably well. Bath tap washers as I recall.

[GEN 4-5-6-7 poly ENGINE MOUNTS and GT4 REAR DIFF MOUNT]

I swapped mine at the weekend - to be honest I only followed the first step - who has a 30" extension bar.... I ask you? I had to clip two long and two short to get enough length. It is a pig of a job. The mount actually comes out the nearside wheel well - you need to remove the battery and plastic tray to reach in to manoeuvre it out.

[Brake bleed nipple sheared off!]

An extractor shouldn't have any problems removing them if they've only been in a few months. If doing it yourself I would recommend getting the caliper in a vice. Carefully compare the broken nipple to a full sized and drill carefully.

I always open bleed valves using a six sided socket. This ensures that the force is applied

evenly and reduces the risk of rounding.
