The clock is now running!

I fitted the switch and bleed the brakes this morning.. god was the old fluid filthy.

Seeing that dirty fluid - I hope you bled new fluid through all the nipples !

no.. i just recycled it back into the master cylindar but added a bit of water to make up for the stuff that i lost on the floor

i got through about 3/4 litres of brake fluid before i was happy that it was all clean

There, you had already proved it is the switch.
