    Change and bleed brake fluid by yourself

    I've never come across any advice that says don't push the pedal all the way down, but there might be a good reason not to? Hopefully someone else can help on that one... The correct bleed sequence is as follows: Left hand drive: Front left, front right, rear right, rear left Right hand...

    Change and bleed brake fluid by yourself

    You don't need any special tools. I made my own pressure bleeder and used it successfully on both my 7th and 8th Gens. http://jmp.sh/A8eecUK With a willing ***istant to pump the pedal at your command you could do it with nothing more than a spanner.

    Heated seat switch

    Upgrading front brake discs 280mm to 300mm?

    Can't help with the upgrade question, but I imagine it'll cost you more than £30 to pull it off. With Parcel2Go.com you can send a 50x50x25cm (just a guess) package weighing 19Kg for less than a tenner with various drop off or pickup options.

    Do it which ever way you can -the main thing is you got your bulbs changed. I've got average sized hands, but no longer have the car so I can't take any new pictures. The ones I have on file suggest it was the same as yours...

    I had a 7th Gen diesel when I wrote this DIY. I've changed both sides several times, and never had to resort to removing the bumper, battery or head lights. My 8th Gen diesel on the other hand is a different story...
