Hi, Just to give you all the info, to get at the bleed nipples, (master cylinder and front and rear ABS), i released the fusebox, and header tank for more room to get a pipe on these nipples. When moving the fusebox i did hear the sound of a spark, something live touching earth for split second, the out come is that i have no dsah lights, my suspension came down, and my car will start but doesnt tick-over, cuts out unless i dip throttle! Colin:- "Thanks for all the replies"

The moral of this story is always disconnect the battery before touching anything electrical

Hi, Yes i was aware about battery conected, but you need to turn ignition on while doing bleeding process. Never done brakes with ABS before, so its new to me. Quite a long bleeding process, that rear bleed nipple ABS, that looks awkward!!!!!!!! Found a fuse blown (60amp next to the yellow relay) Just waiting for my battery to charge, so will be doing it Sunday now. Colin

Hi, Thanks everyone for replies!!!!!!!!! Just had a bite to eat, came back out, and my rear suspend has dropped to the bump stops front still on high setting, Had bonnet and boot open.Started engine thinking it should lift rear up, but nothing doing,dashboard showing all four light flashing, then all just stay on. Cant really do much with suspension low down. How do i get back up and kept it there until i finish my pipes? Colin

You got all these highly knowledgeable replies and not one suggested you shut the boot..

Never mind, you got there in the end. Psst.. it had nothing to do with where you were sitting.
