The Freelander has a slightly longer pipe on the input side, however you can simply put a bend in the pipe, or change it for one from the old slave. In terms of bleeding the master, I made a pipe up using a quick coupling and the bleed nipple from an old slave to enable the master to be bled in isolation to the slave, works a treat too Brian |

Admittedly its a bit fiddly, but I've always managed to use my eezi bleed on the clutch master, using an old modified cap. I've replaced the black condom with an o ring that fits neatly in the cap, 200ml of fluid at about 15 psi and job done. One useful tip, a thin long flat bladed screwdriver is ideal to gently tap the cap loose or nip it up.

A point to note if using the original cap with a rubber o ring in place of the condom.
There is a hole in the top of the cap, which must be blanked off, otherwise the fluid is open to atmosphere and will absorb moisture Brian |

I think all brake and clutch reservoirs require a ventilation hole, my understanding of the condom is so the unit can be sold off the shelf ready filled.
