I think Halfords does the super-low jacks - bit of an outlay, but if we will have these impractical cars...  |

The bolt removal sockets worked beautifully! Fitting new cylinder was a faff as the IL Motorsport one is slightly different to OEM which makes getting the union back on tricky. Still, all fitted now just need to bleed today and hope it fixes the issue....

Seems to have sorted it now. However, bite point seems quite high on the pedal now?!
