I just installed a new clutch master cylinder in my mini but I cant get the system to bleed. I've tried the pumping method and a one man kit both with no joy. The master cylinder just oozes fluid out of the rubber bung at the top where the pipe comes out.

The bleed nipple is definatley open on the slave cylinder but not a drop comes out and there are no visible leaks anywhere. Is it possible that one of the pipes is blocked or is there anything else?

blockage but how the freck do you unblock a clutch pipe...new pipe?

you could get one of them one peice flex pipes. about £14 odd squid i think from mini spares if it is the pipe.

i had the same problem, it turned out i had the nipple undone too much, try bleed ing with the nipple only just open.
