    Default Any one recommend a bleed kit?

    Hi guys, just looking to get my GSI Brake kit fitted, but I'm obviously going to have to bleed and replace the fluid once fitted...

    Was looking at a few on Ebay -

    Anyone have any better suggestions and / or tips - Other than the obvious, get someone else to do it LOL

    I've used the Eezibleed kit - works great, but it's about that same price in Halfords I think, so save yourself the postage cost (and delay) and get it there instead.

    when using the easibleed kits just make sure it seals properly, especially if using a universal fitting cap
    i have seen loads of them that have leaked and a couple that have had the pipes split and leak

    I can confirm the eazibleed has a cap that does fit the Vectra no problem. Make sure you test it without any fluid the first time you use it, as two of the caps are similer sizes and one of them will just blow off under pressure.
