I used to have problems getting a really firm pedal until I got a pressure bleeder. Gunsons Eezibleed is OK (£20), Sealey's pressure bleeder is much better (£60). Unless you get a good flow, it's...

Yes. I've never bothered with it - I just use a huge 3/4" Norbar industrial torque wrench set to 450 Nm (with the 2079, it's a mere 350 Nm). Check the torques for your engine - they may be different....

Only starting problem I ever had with mine was after I pressure washed the engine bay. I presumed the lack of starting was due to some water in the ignition bits, so I dried it thoroughly and let it...
