The clutch has recently been replaced on our 94 diesel toyota estima, but when It came time to bleed the clutch it wouldn't have a bar of it. Fluid is coming out the bleed nipple but there is not one bit of feel in the pedal, and when you pushthe pedal, under its own power it just slams hard to the floor. Any thoughts on what the problem could be! It was working fine before hand to. Cheers

Faulty clutch masteror slave cyl! It requires the pedal plate pressire to push the piston back in the slave and fluid pressure to push back the piston in the master cyl. Clamp the flexible line to the slave cyl (once you have bleed it), if the pedal is hard, it must be the slave cyl.

Are you bleeding it by yourself, or have you got someone helping you!

Have had someone to help, but its easy to do from the drivers seat through the floor pannel by yourself anyway. The fact that it was working fine before the the clutch was replaced makes me hope its fine and somethings just been missed. Cheers.

Peel the rubber boot back on the slave cylinder. Is there any fluid inside the boot (assuming the piston hasn't popped out)! If so, replace the slave cylinder.

On slave cylinder - try peeling back outer dust boot and pushing piston to the end of travel with screwdriver or similar. This will expel any trapped air back to master cylinder. An old trick but a good one.
