The 5 hours is in peak hour, which is why it takes 5 hours and not 2.5 … if it were a nice trip up the Hunter Valley it would be different. :)
Besides it's too late, Rock Auto had this swanky sucky-bleedy thing that comes in it's own little carry-case for the same price delivered as you pay here for a plastic sprayer-bottle attached to a bit of garden-hose with chewing-gum, so how could I not buy it? So I'm now officially committed! Plus once the wheels come off to check the pads, I'm not going to put them back on again to get to a mechanic, that sounds like
way too much effort!!!!one!!oneone!!
Ta for the offer James, I may take you up on it (although I sorta want to DIY myself now I've psyched myself up, I rebuilt everything way-back-when but I don't remember doing the filling/bleeding myself so I must have asked the mechanic I was living 'round the corner from to do that bit … and I've kinda committed to doing it myself now, with the vacuum bleeder doohickey & the brake fluid that Spac recommended even being on special at SuperCheap last weekend :D).
Spac … manicure? Pedicure? I don't know why anyone would subject themselves to that!
Maybe it's the norm to be served cheese while being -cured? If so, that would explain it, and OK I'm happy to be -cured …
Now you've reminded me though, I should get some decent rubber gloves to do this. I've been using disposables for doing car stuff that involve lots of fluids (eg. an oil-change), but with those fiddly small nuts they'd probably rip in seconds. Because we have a newish water-heater with the stupid water-temp limitation legalities I don't need gloves to wash up these days ...
