This was because the brakes were substantially nonfunctional when I got the car. Lots of green slime and cement-like stuff in the lines, pump,...
The Leonardo plugs into the ABS directly? Am I right in thinking there’s a $5000 version that has less multi-car capability than the $20k version?
I had assumed it was, but it looks like I may’ve been wrong.
I was considering the Foxwell NT530.
Hey, me again. Load of questions, but at least I keep progressing on the car! Once I have the brakes all back together, I'll need an OBDII...
I managed to dissolve all the green slime that came out of one of the lines in some denatured alcohol (methylated spirits). It took better than an...
Very interesting - if I felt like I could get enough alcohol through it, I might go for keeping it. Thanks for the tip about the Mazda stuff, too;...
For posterity, in case anyone finds this thread, I finally got the parking brake working, nearly two years later. There's two critical pieces of...
I feel like this is a third rail - for some reason, no one dares reveal this procedure. There's loads of info on how to take off the solenoid...
Thank you! Makes perfect sense.
Hey all, I'm in the midst of cleaning or replacing just about everything that brake fluid in the car touches, since mine was in such bad shape...

I was able to see “Ferrari,” “Dayco,” and “181610” (the part number) on one, and nothing on the other. That part number has been superseded, but I...
My car was badly neglected by its previous owners. And while I've allowed it to sit, that's over! I've got the lift and ac in my garage, and I'm...
I’ve had a slow down light that flashes on start since I’ve had the car (5.2, 6-speed). Since I don’t have the calipers back yet, I still can’t...
Ah, good point. There is no salt here (unless you drive to the beach) so I tend to forget about it.
I get how my brake lines could have gunk in them, whether it's degradation of fluid caused by heat/time, water adsorption from the atmosphere,...
Excellent on both points! Thanks for the clear advice!
How soon will it shut the bank down? Are we talking immediately, or a minute? Because of the brake situation when I got it, I've never driven this...
Thanks for these details! Will get my voltmeter out and check it! This is concerning. Hopefully it's somehow not that... Thanks! I did find...
