The clock is now running!

Seeing that dirty fluid - I hope you bled new fluid through all the nipples !

no.. i just recycled it back into the master cylindar but added a bit of water to make up for the stuff that i lost on the floor

i got through about 3/4 litres of brake fluid before i was happy that it was all clean
