which brake bleeding kit?



  not a clio anymore
I am looking for a good (yet possibly not too expensive) brake beeding kit.
I have used a eazy bleed before, have had a lot of grief with it (mostly to do with the seal to the brake reservoir) so I do not want to use that again.
I was looking preferably at a vacuum system which sounds a better optopn (plus reduces the risk of having pressurised fluid going everywhere in your engine bay)

One of the kits I have found was from Mityvac

but I have no idea if it is good or not.
Any other good kit (£50 inc delivery is realistically the maximum I'd like to pay)

thanks
 
the Gunsons kit is fine if you ensure that the cap is actually sealed before filling the bottle with fluid; might be worth another go if you've already got one

To be honest, it is not worth my stress level. I have had an issue on the cap that goes on the reservoir the first time (my mistake). Once sorted that went kind of ok.
The second time I have changed the fluids, it is the rubber seal on the clean fluid bottle that cuased me a lot of grief. The way the pipes are (i.e. close to the rim) meant I could hardly ever get a proper seal. I ended up leaving it leaking air and havind to repump the tyre for every corner (and making sure the pressure did not drop completely). So I really want to try something else.
I found other products sucah as the Sealy VS402 which you can get for around £35 so that will probably be the solution.

I can't see the point in spending all that on a brake bleeding kit tbh . I use a small piece of rubber tubing on the bleed nipple into a jar , pump the pedal , top up , pump the pedal , top up ........ Job done . Cost me about £1.00 from a local car accessory shop ;)

I got one from Halfords (not the Eazi Bleed thing) for about £3.50. It's little more than piece of tubing, a widget to go over the bleed screw and a rubber one way valve. It works fine.
