Can't see that being me to be honest. I did put pics up of my fancy curly wurly pipes in my p38 dhse recommissioned thread though.
What type of jack are you using?
Did you use a jack pad like this? if not you may just be squashing the rubber on the car and the jack it pushing the side step.

That dont look good
Think brake lines may take a back seat.Panels are available now though if you are brave.

Ok new brakes lines all round fitted. Couple of expensive line clips needed. Bled the brakes front left, front right, rear left, rear right. Brake lights on dash ! drove car round yard Lights go off and stay off, But now the brake when first pressed goes to the floor slow then press again and its firm. Will it just be air in lines still and need bleeding again. Or is it somthing to do with abs module. Been told it might need a diagnostic plug in , to bleed air out of system. Need it sorting now get miss's off my case till it breaks again. I need a rest. Thank you.
Hiya
great u got new lines in
hope u don’t mind me saying but when bleeding brakes should always start off with the furthest one away from the master cyl first, so if it’s on the drivers side u would start near side rear, offside rear, then front near side , then front offside
ref the ABS module indeed if u allow any air to enter it diagnostics are normally required to bleed it out
Think many of us use a pressure bleeder , this is the set up I’ve got so can bleed the brakes yourself, syringe to remove any old brake fluid from the master cyl, then the spanners that has a NRV inside so prevents air from being pulled back into the system
plus was the brake fluid u got brand new from an unopened container and does it match the specs as per JLR requirements plse , did u use something similar plse , , thks
hope that helps

I like that set, never seen one like it.
I've got the Sealey one. @markpiercy recommended it.
many thks and likewise in only recently seeing them, there 6 x sided and like the idea that u can just lift the spanner up to undo the bleed nipple without having to take the tube off
made up the connections for the waste brake fluid container but then realised like a doughnut to put a small hole in the cap, otherwise with the pressure bleeder on it wouldn’t allow the air to come out and fill the bottle with fluid, doh

I don't really see the point if you're pressure bleeding how can it back feed?
The second the nipple is open fluid flows out until you close it again.
I mean, yes, they're a nice socket so less likely to round the nipple but I think the valve is a bit of a gimmick

still available on line
Never had an issue on any vehicle using the pressure unit, it was a good investment. Takes a little time to set up bit is worth the effort ,
