Fill it to the top, it's brake fluid that goes in it

If you follow the pipe from the reservoir it will take you down to the slave cylinder that bolts on to the gearbox. There is a bleed nipple there so undo a bit and pump through using the clutch remembering to keep topping up the reservoir. Once you are happy with what's been pumped through then re tighten bleed nipple and reservoir cap

tip: put a piece of rubber hose on the bleed nipple coz when you are lying on your back undoing it whilst someone pumps the peddle in the cab you will get some of the fluid in your face if you do not use the rubber hose.....I wear specs and still have a working eye but only coz I wear specs.

the way i did this was with he pipe, pump the clutch till its coming out of the pipe pretty vigourously, then leave it and keep topping it up, gravity will syphon the fluid out till its running clean, then crimp up the bleed nipple
