I have one of these (Sealey) pressure bleed kits. Useless thing, it seems to just leak and achieve nothing to speak of.
Got a vacuum bleeder which seems a good principle, but the supplied hoses and connectors leaked and made it useless. Having replaced the hose with quality fuel hose instead I was using it yesterday and it did a good job, I was pleased.
But, if a helper can be found I don't think anything beats two people, one cracking the nipple when the pedal is down then closing before it's returned. Doesn't work too well when the assistant in the cab is a deaf cowman who doesn't listen and do as he thinks.

Mine makes no hissing or anything though, used it quite a few times before and it's always been just dandy. I will maybe try bleed again tomorrow if wedging it down hasn't helped.
Also the mess occurs when I miss the filler bottle which is not the easiest of places to get into!

Yes it will be the current congestion charge zone, I guess I won't be doing any work in Central London in four years time.I'll hopefully have bought my own place by then

Well Kim, it looks like you should look after it as you've got the one!
It's like honest politicians, Land Rovers that don't leak etc - most of us believe there may be one somewhere, but nobody has actually found one!

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, haven't been feeling to great.
Anyway, did a small bit. With the help of two great people I managed to save myself allot of money on a wiring loom.
I salvaged some stuff from my old towing loom then bought the rest. I cleaned the genuine tow plug first.
Then thanks to a guy called PaulMC off Lr4x4 forum I managed to get all new connectors and the correct crimping tool
Managed to use the cable cover stuff of the old look as well
Then all wired in and tested all is good hurrah
Anyway I'm off out again
