A very thorough post as usual, Dave. I use a Gunson Eezi-Bleed for my brakes, I must confess I've not done the clutch yet as I can't find the slave cylinder! (help required- 1800 Zetec) As for disposing of used oil, here in UK our local recycling centres (read- town dump) will usually have a dedicated tank. Gerry. Me too, I find the Eezi-bleed makes the whole process very quick and simple. Is the Zetec not a cable clutch?

Dave another excellent journey into the depths of a Morgan, although I have no intention of going there myself I was fascinated.

Hi Dave May I ask why you used oil for a Turbo DIESEL in a petrol engine. David

A good question. I chose that oil on the basis of viscosity and being fully synthetic. It is said to have more robust qualities as required by Turbo Diesel engines, but basically oil is oil. I nearly opted for Mobil 1 which I have in the Roadster, but the viscosity doesn't quite match what the handbook suggests, so Castrol it was, but maybe a bit over the top.
Eezibleeds? - not a fan - too much risk of squirting fluid about for my fastidious tendencies!
The nipple caps came with the car, so if not MMC, are BHM.
