When I bought my Alfetta GTV the guy who sold me it told me he had a
hell of a time trying to get the brakes bled and had given up.
I found with the help of the Digest that the mechanic had replaced the
front calipers on the wrong sides and that the bleed screws were not at
the top.
Take a look, I hope it's that simple.
