Well, brakes work fine and was a steep learning curve. But they are new to me so all the brakes will need doing, hopefully after the summer but the pedal is a great soft now. Sorted the water storage issue that was on the todo list. Have added a new section of hose between the holding tank and the next stage that reaches the floor. Can now take an empty water holder and use to sink without having to have it on the sink all the time. Replaced the pump a couple of years back and it still works! All set for sunday If its not broken...I can break it!
