Laird Scooby Premier Member Last Online: Today 00:28 Join Date: May 2012 Location: Lakenheath	Did you bleed the front calipers as well Ted? Sometimes it's worth undoing the lower caliper slide so the caliper can be lifted up so the bleed nipple is uppermost, this helps get the air in the caliper to the top of the piston in the caliper and out through the nipple. As for the back end where you changed the pipe, had it blocked up inside? I'm wondering if the secondary piston in the master cylinder has become stuck due to not being able to move because of a blockage. The ABS system can be tricky to bleed, some are easy, others can be a right royal, ocean-going pain in the ar5e though. If it's any help, Pg17 onwards in this pdf might be useful : http://www.myvolvolibrary.info/Tech_...es_service.pdf Whatever you do, don't be tempted to "live bleed" it with the engine running, i've heard tales of FUBAR modulators and similar horror stories as a result. __________________ Cheers Dave Next Door to Top-Gun with a Honda CR-V & S Type Jag Volvo gone but not forgotten........
