Thanks Toby.

Got a few jobs to do on the car and my work shop at work is to full to get the car on at the moment. Will this rain ever stop? There can't be much more water up there! Will have to clear the barn out at home and do the jobs there at the weekend.

No problem,

Quite, it's frustrating as I have some jobs I want to get done on the Alfa, not going to happen in this weather though. No sign of it brightening up today either :x

About to order new front and back and anti sink tomorrow from aep.

Just wondering whether to do the accumilator or not while i'm at it. Its been on for two years now and done around 40k but its still only clicking about every 1 min 10 or 1min 20 secs so i think theres plenty of life left in it yet??????

Also I'm going to change the LHM as don't know if this has ever been done. Should i Hydroflush first? Does it make much difference?

Yes
Fresh LHM makes a massive difference to the qualitity of the ride..

YES! Hydraflush her first, then when you put LHM back on remember to bleed the crap from the brakes as they are dead ends...

when i put the hydroflush in do i need to bleed from the brakes as well otherwise the old lhm will stay in that part of the system as i assume the suspension and brake systems are dead ends and the fluid doesn't flow round and back into the reservoir?

Suspension is not a dead end, its can be a continuos circul, Ive only read the brakes being the dead ends..
