The first question is always "Why did I buy a Land Rover?"

to pull the ladiezzzzzzzzzzzz....
I was honked at by a chunky lass on the M1 as I drove my pride and joy home for the first drive. I was most annoyed my wife didn't notice....as she was following in my car..

Are you sure that it wasn't because she watched something fall off your car?

Well my first question is how do I build hydronic pressure / bleed the clutch system as currently I’ve put a new spring on and it throws itself against the floor rather than pushes up. People have said it’s fitted correctly however it looks bent to me.Welcome.
Got pics of said ton of questions

Not the bits that are wrong
the shiny bit on the top, from a distance if it makes it look better.J

Not convinced about the spring, but not certain, so leave that until someone else comes along.
For bleeding, simple gravity bleed with a tube on the slave cylinder nipple seems to work best.

Thanks, I believe mine is fitted like this, however when the pedal is pressed the spring doesn’t go up and into the gap like his

That looks great. I’m not sure how to make mine recess like that as it looks like it’s fitted the same way around but never goes up that far

The spring does a job. If the springs job is to return the clutch to the upright position and you are saying your pedal doesn't return and the spring doesn't look right, I think it's safe to say the spring isn't fitted right.
I haven't ever changed mine, or even seen it tbh as its recessed as it should be. The only advice I can suggest is take it off and put it back on following the workshop manual perhaps.
