Afternoon all
Have been changing the fluid in the wifes 09 fiesta and have got one of those universal brake bleeding kits off of ebay (the ones with a vacuum pump) and i cannot seem to get a steady flow of fluid from the bleed nipple. I suspect its the seal between the silicon tubing and blleed nipple itself. I have tried using both the supplied adapter and just the tube over the nipple but the fluid seems to just dribble out a bit. Anybody got any tips for how to get a better seal?

Cheers
Nick

Never had much success with patent devices! Get wife to help in traditional fashion but make instructions clear or discord may follow. On a more serious note, a plastic tube which fits really tightly would help - over time I've collected lots of bits from all sorts of junk so can usually find something to fit.
