Crikey, how did you manage to find a 2002 with 440 miles on it?

I thought mine was low mileage at 11K.

Thye all seem to suffer with rear brake issues, there have been threads on here and other site about how to bleed the brake properly.

Heres an interested method if you aint keen on bleeding your brakes yourself, dunno how well it really works and how long it last, its always worth a shot,

alot of yellow milles showing up these days :dunno not too many Rs though, and that one is particularly nice :thumbup

if you use the right fluid and bleed the rear brake system regularly (at least every 1000 miles) there probably wont be any rear brake problems, theres plenty of things to help the rear brake fade less though, best has to be nice gilles rearsets which relocate the master cyl and look so :inlove
