Unusual to break the lcd and as I'm sure you've seen not cheap to replace lcd and of course you have to do front glass as well. If you need any help let me know.

Breaking things in unusual ways is my specialty, you should see some of my code. Compiler errors for no reason usually, or so it feels :( :lol:

Thanks for the offer, think it's all sorted currently though. Got a back up phone so I'm in no major rush anymore :)

What size Lloyd? The brake lines kit came with two of them, so why would I need four? :confused:

Also, crappy pictures of the lines and included stuff here:

You can get away with only using two so not to worry .
Looks like you just need brake fluid now and your good to go (if you have the tools and bleed pipe )

Brake bleeding thing has arrived today. Found a brilliant review online, just before ordering the stuff linked in this thread, of one that's really easy to use. Ready whenever you are :thumbup:
