Yeah cheers Phil.
Think in total mine worked out at £190 which is still a big wedge of money. I had to buy longer cables, and brake hoses and some bar ends.
I've never bled brakes before but it was quite straight forward. not sure if its the correct way to do it but i un did the bleed nipples, and removed the lid from the reservoir and left it for ten mins. Then i topped up the fluid tightened one nipple then sqeezed the brake tighten the nipple and released. I repeated this till only fluid was coming out. I tightened it up then did the same with the other side. Took about 5 mins to get good solid pressure. Thenn i did a few emergency stops out side the house to make sure before setting off for work.
