After the swap it was bled, and was working fine, it was after the brake pad change I noticed the ABS pulsating say 2 miles into my driving i thought nothing much of it,I thought it as the new brake blending.On fri morning after my 1st customs encounter and shagamu bypass the pulsating increased, this time the car would not rev up and the brakes where holding like a faulty parking brake.At this point I pulled into where you found us, and when that baba took the front tyre off to check the brake, we saw where all hydrolics where leaking and he was like Oga, where this nipple?, I thought it was a joke, behold, nipple was missing and I thought at that point it was a miracle the car was working all till this point.We got a nipple to put, try to bleed and you know ther est

See the things that the man dey complain about. Those faults are non issue here. Na the man dey spoil the things by himself. If not for Okada and keke napep, wetin person dey do with horn? And that steering column that slides out by itself based on memory, e nor dey spoil .ha for radiator, Na Kazeem touch something with him screw driver and put hole on the radiator. The air suspension is a wear and tear item for a 6yrs old car. Range Rover, above and beyond

Quality control, quality control, quality control. That's the missing link. The reason for checklists is because we are all human and can forget. Maybe this mecho was managing the moi moi he had since morning and couldn't concentrate by evening. grin
The last time I visited a mechanic (this was some 5 years ago) a major bolt on my suspension was left out! I only discovered when I got home and was inspecting something else. I didn't blame the mechanic much because the guy had been working since morning and hunger was probably harassing him seriously.
It always pays to inspect your work, recount the steps before final assembly. This is where a checklist proves useful.

I repeat, it's amazing that the brakes needed to be bled after brake pad change. Never heard of this procedure, I open to learn but is that standard anywhere??

Don't let anyone loosen your brake caliper nipples to change brake pads. If the caliper piston won't move back, then the piston would need to be run as they are stiff. Alternatively if the calipers are electrically controlled there is a procedure that allows fit them to be pulled back.
