your disced rear beam, are you using the standard vauxhall rear brake adjuster thing that attatches to the rear axle? or have you removed it and connected it straight up? PLUSS have you had any rear disc lockup when under heavy breaking? as thats whats making me curious about completing my disced rear beam setup... as i keep reading that this is very common when putting discs on the rear of a corsa  which is rather dangerous

It's still there mate but im gonna put it in the down position. So it has free flow. The brakes arnt bled yet and no dash so haven't been able to try it. I'm gonna get a adjustable incar bias valve soon anyways. But for now i'l just take it out and see what she's like

Mine runs on standard bias setup and i have cable tied the load thing with the spring up, only locks up when stamp on the brakes, but i find it more stable than drums and less pressure on peddle is needed to brake.

Well what a mission the brakes were  in the pissing rain, with a misses with as much coordination as a fish swimming backwards! Super spongey as hell. And don't stop me. And the car is really bloody hesitant so think the brakes need doing again. (would help if I knew what the funk I was doing!) and try and sort the hesitantness. There's no ecu light?

When driving bud. Go to pull away it either tries to die or shoots off. If I put my foot down it's just holding back :s

Make sure leads are correct and tight, maye sure the plug that goes near top is on tight, if you took dizzy apart make sure needle inside is set right ( not sure if can set wrong )

Get some bits of wood to go under wheels, Drive on, Jack under, Job done.
Kizza with the brake bleeding are you starting at the back drivers side, Thats where you need to start, get that one pure fluid and then go to rear pass side and then front pass side etc. ECU light, are you sure the wiring hasnt come unplugged or disconnected another way? Check the bulb aswell, It could just by chance that its chosen this moment to die.
