Ive been keeping the fluid reservoir fully topped up at all times and pumping the pedal but the air is coming and coming out of the bleed nipple and down the bleed pipe. Should i get a friend to pump and keep locking off the nipple every time i pull the pedal up? my bleed kit has a non return valve anyway its not air that has been sucked back in but it must be coming from somewhere?
and ideas folks?

Hi,
What vehicle are we talking about here? If its a P38 I seem to recall the manual says something about turning on the ignition when bleeding the slave cylinder. I'll try and remember to look up the instructions. If its not a P38 I can't help you.
