Brake Bleeding Kit for FL2

Can anyone recommend a ‘One Man’ Brake bleeding kit for use on a Freelander 2?

Thanks,

Chris

I have one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-71205-Unive...amp;sr=8-4.

To be honest I don't tend to use the vacuum gadget much. I prefer to open the bleed nipple and let gravity do the rest. However, if you have ever used jars or bottles to bleed your brakes into (and knocked them over) you find the magnetic based things of this set up a godsend. The brake reservoir fiiler pot is also good. John

I have a Gunson Ezi-Bleed kit for brake bleeding and have used it a number of times on different cars.
Very quick and easy to use.

Thanks for the replies, I’ll have a look for one this weekend. Must be better and much quicker than bleeding brakes the old fashioned way.

I've got the same Draper Unit as John, the vacuum unit needs a compressor, I've also got a gunson easibleed and to use that you use tyre pressure , so at least need a footpump. You can also use the Draper to vac out other fluids such as oil etc if you buy the correct probes. the other technology is a " MightyVac" hand pump,

The Draper kit get my vote as the dispensers and receivers are big enough to do the job with loads of capacity to spare 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
