Matt has one cheap
It will APPEAR to use fluid as the clutch plate wears.
This is because the slave cylinder never returns quite as far as the clutch linings wear away.
Just thought I'd mention it.
TOP TIP (This is a beezer)
top up the reservoir HALF WAY only.
Then nip under the car and press the slave cylinder piston back in slowly.
The fluid level in the reservoir should rise. If it does, great.
Shove the slave piston all the way in. Now get your mate VERY SLOWLY to press the clutch pedal down, and keep an eye on the fluid level. You stay under and make sure the pushrod stays where it should be.
Your mate does the pedal up and down a few times, topping up as required and CARAMBA!
Nine times out of ten perfect clutch and no bleeding needed.
This is a secret - don't tell anyone.

how does that work if as clutch plate wears clutch fingers go out toward release bearing ,pushing more on bearing
Exactly so James, in the Landie that is correct.
The fluid should in fact rise as the clutch wears.
Funny thing is, it never does.
One wonders where the fluid goes.
The reverse flush "bleeding" works well in almost every case of the fluid getting too low.
