Clutch Pedal appears to be "dribbling"!

easy to bleed just gravity bleed it no problem, don't pump the pedal

Great in theory, but for me didn't work in practice.

only time i had one that wouldn't bleed it was the nipple was blocked so nothing came out, took the nipple out topick at it with a pin and blow it through with compressed air by the time I'd done that fluid was running out of the slave, popped the nipple in and checked the pedal, jobs sorted, so since then that's how I've done it no problem

Just reading the Haynes manual and in theory it looks straightfoward enough!!!

Am a bit worried about the whole bleeding and hydraulic thing but I might just give this a go.

In a nutshell, it's a fairly easy job to do, just fiddly and a lot of it is done by feel cause you can't see it! Gently crimp the flexi pipe from the reservoir before you remove it (Mole grips with insulating tape round the jaws worked for me) to stop fluid going everywhere, a wet rag underneath will come in handy to catch any spills and clean up any messy fluid leaks. Slacken off the union before you you undo the bolts that hold it in place, prevents some of the risk of damaging the pipe and when you put the new one in get a cood couple of turns on the union before you do the bolts back in as a bit of slack comes in handy to align it. As Adian says it should bleed itself without problem as the fluid will just flow once the crimp is removed from the flexi pipe. If you want to bleed it through to the to slave then you'll need to check the bleed nipple on the slave will slacken off, lots of easing oil required and still no gaurantee it won't shear off ... like mine did so I never ever did bleed it through and it works ok. In all honesty bleeding to the master is childs play compared to say bleeding brakes!

pretty simple
clamp off the flexi hose from the reservoir
undo the two bolts holding the cylinder
pull it down/aside gently remember the fixed pipe is still attached, pull out feed pipe and undo fixed hydraulic line
when fitting ensure the pushrod goes into top of new cylinder when you relocate it before fitting the two bolts
to bleed, fill reservoir over full mark, remove clamp, remove bleed nipple from slave cylinder observe, once fluid is flowing out with no obvious air bubble refit nipple and check for clutch pedal pressure
access isn't great
