I bought from Advance Factors yesterday and just received a text to say they will be here in an hour. That's fantastic delivery though for the cost it would want to be.

Did this job on my D4 at the weekend. Had been spraying the front hose bolts and connections with WD40 over the previous weeks. Was very pleased when everything opened with minimal effort and no ringing/breaking. I bled through the system using the IID tool and a few pointers:
1. Have 3L of new brake fluid available
2. Have an assistant to observe the brake fluid reservoir and keep it topped up.
3. Have a brake fluid collection jar of at least 500ml. I was using one of those small square Draper bottles and it overflowed
4. The IID tool programme will take 20-30mins to run through so allow enough time
5. Don't do it in the pouring rain as wet tarmac is not very nice to lie on.
