i bought and tried a couple of months back ..although they work (the vacuum pull is weak) 2 out of 5

..They are not as good as the eezibleed as that uses the pressure from your spare tyre...having tested it - i packed the tool away resorted back to eezibleed

all the best.mark


I have one of those on the eBay listing, I found if you put Vaseline on the nipple it gets a better seal, think I had one of those ezibleed things back in the ‘90’s, if it’s the one I’m thinking it caps the brake fluid thingy on the vehicle then uses pressure from the spare.

It should have been £1000, not £10000

I opted for a decent one from Sealey for £50 it seems very robust I will report back when I have used it

I bled the brakes yesterday but there is still no pedal, so will have another go today, when it cools down, 26 C in Scotland!
The Sealey pressure bleeder works really well, solid bit of kit and worth the money

They're very expensive for what they do...well over $1100 aussie sheckles. It may be able to do the ABS bleed....you would hope so as that price.

You need Forscan which is "free" to download onto a windoze lappy.

Forscan is a very user friendly specialised Ford software and works very well with Transits, the recommended cables are reasonably cheap.
