hello guys,
i have just replaced my clutch slave cylinder and am trying to bleed the clutch again but i can't find any pipe or hose to fit the nipple, can anyone tell me where i can get some and what size or whether i can buy and use a brake bleeding kit and this will fit the same size ?
hope you can help thank you

old washer pipe did the trick when i replaced my slave cylinder :)

Get a bleed kit from halfords, only a few quid with a non return valve, which means you can bleed it solo.

As above. Only costs about a fiver.

I had a bleeding kit for my other car and it didn't fit the nipple was to big so didn't bleed really, so is there different types or not ?

The kit should have a plastic retainer, basically a piece of plastic with a whole in, so if the pipe is too big you clip this over the pipe when connected to the bleed nipple, every kit normally has one.

Ok just bought o e from halfords today and it's different to my previous one so I'll give it a go

I've also been told you need to fill the master cylinder up after bleeding the clutch is this right ? And do you just put the clutch fluid in the little pot with the plastic screw cap on top ?
