More problems
After fitting a new clutch slave cylinder im wanting to bleed it. The engine isn't running yet as im waiting on a refurbished starter motor. When i try and pump the clutch pedal it just goes to the floor and stays there? does the engine need to be running? or is there another trick?
thanks
Josh

Had a V8 Disco a few years back and it was a pain in the ass to bleed. Only way to do it was to use a pressure bleeding kit as the master cylinder runs out of travel before the slave cylinder piston has completed it's travel. Could be that the new slave cyl. is dry and the piston is dragging.
