As above, bottom one is dripping but top wont bleed, tried to pressurise it by blowing down where fliud goes but pushing pedal doing nothing...any advice please? Thanks

Have you followed the procedure in the FSM?

Especially important to do steps c,d and e (usually many times!).

Yep tried it for ages, no fluid coming out at all from top one

Delete the stock tree, use a braided single line so much neater and easier to set up. You can even bench bleed it.

After spending £35 on the pipe I don't really want to buy another, surely there is a way of bleeding the bloody thing....gggrrrr

Lisa, I changed out the slave cylinder and pipe a while ago. Getting the air out of the system was frustrating to say the least.

I found out (the hard way) that the procedure in the FSM had to be followed. The key seem to be pumping the pedal several

times in quick succession and whilst keeping the pedal depressed opening the bleeder to release the air (it gives a "pssst")

under pressure. Close the bleeder before raising the pedal for the next cycle. Keep a close eye on the reservoir to make sure

the level of brake fluid stays above MC. The reservoir drains quickly during the bleeding process. I remember we did quite

a lot of those cycles to get all the air out.

so if we were just pressing the clutch pedal and pumping it and opening the bleed nozzle whilst pumping and not holding pedal down your saying this could be why its not bring fluid thru at all ye? and has to be followed exactly how you said? Also was you pedal just pumping with no resistance?

If you keep the bleed valve open whilst pumping air will be drawn back in through the bleed valve when you release the pedal.

There was little/no resistance to start with and gradually as the air was expelled it built up. We pumped quickly 1,2,3,4 pumps,

hold down on last pump - open bleed valve (~half turn), close *then* release pedal. Repeat again and again...

Ok, will give that a go, thanks
