Has anyone found a really good one man brake bleeding system? I've bought and used the "Mighty-Vac" system and don't like them.
My nine-year-old daughter is getting wise to my insistence that helping Dad bleed the brakes on the Rover is really fun and helps develop future driving skills. Also, my six-year-old has trouble reaching the brakes.
Thanks-

Motive Products Power Bleeder works well for me . Not sure how the MV works but the PB pressurizes fluid at the reservoir and you just bleed away . AB sells them but you could probably find it cheaper if you looked around .

The Motive bleeder is great - you can buy it direct from their website also. Even makes bleeding an ABS RRC easy.

The Motive is great for bleeding a clutch too. The brake and clutch reservoirs share the same cap fitting. When ordering from the Motive site, make sure you specify the correct cap. |

Is the motive compatible with the ABS systems on the Rovers? The advertisement that AB has implies that it is for non-ABs vehicles only.
Just think, I can get my hands dirty with brake fluid all alone now! Always seems that no matter how hard I try, I always end with brake fluid all over my hands!

Paul,
I told you over a year ago when I bought mine that it was fine for ABS systems. I called AB and told them the same, but I guess they have liability issues.

Hi Paul,
FYI - I just replaced the accumulator on the wifes RRC (90) this weekend and then flushed the system - used the Motive bleeder and also followed the Workshop instructions (deleting text that instructs you to pump pedal of course) - and it all worked great - new fluid, new accumulator - awesome brakes!
Also - I've done the Disco brakes a bunch of times to......
