    anything i need to know about bleeding the brakes? i.e. particular order etc.? i had a catastrophic brake failure the other day when a brake pad fell out while i was driving along, causing the piston to over-extend and brake fluid to drain completely out of the system. luckily i didn't have...

    couple of bits required

    dunno if i'm blind but couldn't see a "for sale / wanted" forum on here. anyway i'm after a couple of bits if anyone's breaking a b5 - i need one rear interior courtesy light, and a lower bump strip for the offside rear door (fixings have rusted away on mine & it's looking ugly). also, not...
