I think the dealers do it for 60 quid,so its not worth the bother really.

Used the one that was pressurised by a spare wheel - worked well but be sure to place lots of rags round the reservoir to catch any spillage and have a syringe ready to remove excess fluid from the reservoir when done as the pressure method will over fill it.

Well, I grew up in a BMW garage so I know a few things...

I will install the AP brakes on my own so I want to bleed them on my own, that's why I am after the bleeder.
I will give it a try and will let you know about my opinion.

Nathan > I know about the pressurized one as well. Usually it wasn't a problem with excess fluid. Let's see with this hobby-tool what I will buy.

I got this ->

Will test it this weekend.

In regards to the doing it yourself, I don't see a problem but when the time comes to sell it, you might have a problem.
If someone doesn't know what is the procedure to change the brake fluid, he might not understand why you did on your own, and possibly think you didn't do it at all, or you didn't do it in a proper way.
