sorry tony you do raise a very valid point,i dont know how far chell can go with that idea,but she will see what can be done.
i think the easy answer would be to do a bleed together sometime,but that wont help others.
to many things flashing up on the screen can be very distracting.steve widdowson is currently working on some graphics of the system state,at certain times of the bleed,these may help you .
regards ady.

You need a funnel that the pipe will fit "up into" (explained in vidio by Kirsty)
Not funnel into pipe.
You can get them anywhere.

The funnel in the vidio has been modifyed.

Can't remember where I got my big funnel, but It's a nightmare trying to bleed it with a little one, the bigger the better. As Haydn said carefully trim it so the bleed hose fits tightly inside, or use an air hose type connector (as is on the video) or similar to make it fit.

Big funnels (18cm) in Wilkinsons for 69p (I think) I got 2 today ( I can never find them when I need).
