When i converted mine, i got rid of the long bleed pipe and bought a master to slave pipe from the zcentre for £20, then bled the slave up top, before i fed it down to the gearbox, so much easier. I did find my slave cylinder was seized, so had to work the piston in and out for a while till it freed up. It then bled in no time at all.

That's what I did too, makes bleeding it much easier.

why are you shouting mate?

i AM FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD can you read me now.

I think alot of the bleeding problems are caused by not enough vacum on the up stroke of pedal because of worn master cylinder seals .When i replaced the seal in my master bleed first time .Its a simple fit its a replacement cartridge with new piston seal just a circlip and slides into the body of the master.Mine bleed first time after changing this .
