Default Ford Fair, don't look like I'll be going :(

I have no idea how to do the brakes (bleeding - fornt and rear)
Other than that, looks like I could be going

bleed the front right and the rear left, then the front left and rear right, they're on the same circuit...

Dave, you have PM

Unfortunately won't be attending Ford Fair as one of the bleed nipple has broken, small part of the bottom of it had snapped and had to force it out by taking it completely off caliper and pressing brake pedal hard to pop it out

Wee were doing so well until this happened, was the last caliper/brake to do aswell

bleed it from the brake pipe should get enough air out to make it work ok.

Gutted isn't the word mate
Can't belive this is all happening at once!!

At least everything broke whilst it was either still or had the MOT tester in the car, It could have been a lot worse couldn't it

I dread to think of it
