They do a universal fitting. Does that not fit?

They do a universal cap adapter kit which fits virtually all cars. I have one - cost about £12.

I've tried a spare cap (as Graham says) on my newage and it's impossible to get an airtight seal due to vent groves in the underside of the cap..! I've even tried sealing with silicone/soft washers etc, but couldn't get an airtight seal..! The universal caps with the kit don't fit either.

Basically you have two choices, buy a vacuum bleed kit (from around £25) that sucks fluid out with a hand held vacuum pump (via nipples at each caliper, works very well..) or, as I did, the old fashioned way, getting the wife to do the pedal pumping.. If you do it this way make sure you're familiar with the technique (or research) as it's easy enough, but also easy to get wrong..!
