If you have already removed all of your AC bits the rest of the blower bits, and the other bits of crud accessible while you at it, weigh in the region of 7-10kg (estimation).

Ello guys, don't forget you lot can get a bit of cheeky discount off any of my parts which will help drive the cost down a tad. Also if you need a custom heater to work to a set specification let me know as we can work something out.

I am currently running no fan or heater in my car and i've only had one issue when it was a cold evening the front window started to mist up a bit. Still waiting on some bulkhead glands so I can then pop the motor back in and fit the glove compartment.

Yeah thats sundays jobs. Whats the best way to empty out all the brake fluid which is in there so far ?
Ill already be taking the front calipers of so will drain all the fluid out of them but shall I open the bleed nipples on the rear calipers and just let it all run out ?

The guys at my work said to suck all the fluid from the reservoir then from each bleed nipple then fill up the reservoir with the new fluid and bleed the furthest brake away first so that's what I'll be doing and hopping all the nipples undo

It obviously wouldn't make sense for si to do that though as he's taking the calipers apart :)
