You'll be cursing it if you ever run out of fluid during a bleed though.

Not that anyone'd be stupid enough...

  there's always a design downside Kevin

I sue one but, I dont use fluid in the easibleed res, I just top the brake fluid reservoir up between doing each corner.

whats the advantage of doing it that way?  other than having to syringe a bit out when you are done?

It doesn't dump a bottle full of brake fluid everywhere if you get a slight leak in the cap seal!

Plus its easier to clean when done!

[Jimbob]

Makes sense 

mine is sometimes a bugger to seal, not lost fluid though (yet )

If you apply your grey matter to it, its also a great way to refill your gearbox after a filter change, if you get a large enough source container - 5 litres dexronIII ?? .....

aye, the DTM method

An excellent piece of kit of simple design, and easy to use. 

I still have one, left from the days of tinkering with my Volvo Amazon (131).

Great design ideas will always stand the test of time

That's about when I last used mine, early 90's, still ready and waiting in the garage though.... like about every other thing in the garage.....

Can someone explain this a little further, as I did not get it...

5 litre container of autotrans fluid.

Container cap, fitted with a valve to pressurise the contents with air from the spare tyre, and an outlet tupe with a prefitted length of tube to the bottom of the container so that the fluid is forced out by the pressure of the air in the same way as you standing on a water balloon?

just make sure the outlet for the fluid is where you want it to be, i.e. into the gearbox, otherwise the fluid spills out wherever...  And ensure the air pressure does not exceed the capicity of the fluid container, otherwise it may well rupture and spew ATF asunder....

Thanks, now I got it... Must try that since my autobox fluid is still on the "to do's" list

EEZIBleed. Can't see many on Ebay for less than about £13.00

This one is £11.50 , That would work on an Omega presumably.?   350134651318

A cheap "killaspray" type device will do the job too. Aldi / Lidl have them for little money every so often.

I've not tried this, but I'm surprised that the Dex 3 is not too thick for the sprayer nozzle.

works fine, and is very easy

I used a Laser oil pump syringe thing from Screwfix , pushed onto a PCL(?) nozzle screwed into the plug hole when I changed ATF recently.  Worked much better than pouring it down a funnel/hosepipe/arm/hair... last time
