Im having great difficulty bleeding the clutch on my land rover series 2a. I have connected up a bleed kit to the clutch slave cylinder and loosened the bleed valve but I am getting nothing coming through? The reservoir is full but I don't get any fluid coming through?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why are you bleeding ? is it because you have run out of fluid, or after fitting new parts?

If it's a new cylinder and pipe it can take a while for fluid to come through. A pressure bleeder or vacuum pump make happen faster.

Bleed the master cylinder first then try again, if nothing coming through you may find that your flexy pipe between the master cylinder and slave cylinder has perished becoming porous.

I am bleeding it as I have recently changed the slave cylinder and had to replace the oil reservoir, I have tried going through the bleeding process multiple times on the clutch slave cylinder but get no oil out?

undo pipe from master to slave and press pedal but put your finger over the hole before you let pedal up ,repeat till fluid flows well then refit pipe and bleed as normal

Is that the braided hose that goes from the pipe coming of the master cylinder and then attaches directly onto the salve cylinder?

yes ,if master is completely empty it will suck air from hose rather than fluid from res
