    Give it a bleed and go from there. Has it left a puddle on the driveway?

    Yeah, there should be a bleed nipple on the pipe near the slave cylinder.

    Just make sure the fluid is kept topped up right to the.top when bleeding do not let it drop not even a few mm as it won't bleed

    Where the bell-housing meets the block, same height as the starter motor (roughly).

    You'd have had fun finding mine.

    It's internal.

    Bleed nipple is in the same place though.

    I bet, this wasn't exactly fun on this as I managed to snap one of the nipples of my boost solenoid thingy in the process so that's another £70 chucked into a job that this morning was looking like a quick cheap thing to do I've stormed in the house 4 times today shouting that's it I'm selling it lol

    Which port did you snap off? if it was the return to the air intake, don't worry about it, just bung the tube up with a screw and some tape to stop it drawing air into the intake afer the MAF.
