Just had this very conversation about my Merc as they cannot get it to bleed...
Slave failure on my Altea had a similar net result, but fortunately that was under warranty. Clutch master on the Omega seems to suffer abuse more readily...
You will never bleed the Merc normally,peice of rubber hose from nearside front wheel bleed nipple to clutch slave nipple,open both nipples and pump brake pedal a few times,fluid won't need topping up as it ends up back in the master anyway,this works a treat on A class as I've done it
edit ,too late again ,already been done
I was staring at a fiesta after changing it's clutch recently and thought , how the bloody hell do you reverse bleed the bastard, I wish I'd thought of that ...genius solution
