Brake Bleed Kit
Does anyone have an unwanted brake bleeding kit? Will be needing one shortly for the rover.
Failing that, are there any reccomendations on which to buy?
Will be doing it myself and for the first time so any words of wisdom are kindly welcomed!

get an eazibleed kit. I was in the same boat as you, having never done it before, and it was plain sailing all the way. Needed to be, because i was
moving house and the kit was off to the new one under its own steam!

Personally I don't use the eezibleed kit after having nightmares with one, giving up and coaxing SWMBO out into the cold from her 'come
dancing in the jungle with a chef's brother' program - there's nothing quite like a good foot on the pedal while you nip round with
a jam jar
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I will add one thing..... I had a Rover 820 vitesse. No good on that. There was no correct adapter for the reservoir.
Ford fitment for the Tiger was no problem and a joy to use
Thanks

Eezibleed is good but no substitute for a spare pair of legs. You need to keep an eye on it or it will Eezily explode fluid all over your car, mine is
about 10 year old though

My bleed tube is a bit of rubber with a split in the side and a ball bearing in the end, about £1.99 from car spares shop. I put the end in an old
shampoo bottle to catch the fluid and hang it on somewhere with a bit of wire then just keep an eye on the fluid level. It helps if someone presses
the pedal for you while you watch for bubbles but it's not essential. We had problems with Easibleed on an Astra even following all the
instructions to the letter reducing air supply pressure and everything but the good old bleed tube worked straight away.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I use a screenwash bottle of about 1998 vintage,
I think the M/Cs just like being pumped manually, Truth be told it's always easier doing it the old fashioned way, I did the kit car pedal with
my hand and put the bottle where it was visible on each corner cos it's up on stands with no seats in it.
