Just a plug here, I got one of these with my RR Hunter about two years ago.
Used it for the first time to bleed the brakes on my 93 LWB last weekend(which was sitting in a field for 3 years). Works like a champ! Got all kinds of nasty old fluid outta there---all by myself!

The only problem with that thing is that the cap doesn't get very tight on the rover res. I just bled a friends brakes the other day and the damn thing came off twice under pressure. What a mess.

You can make one yourself for about $1.95.

I took a defunct 1 quart-sized garden sprayer (broken nozzle) and attached a bit of hose. Then attached a brass hose barb (the $1.95 part) to an old, plastic reservoir cap. The nice thing is that Rover never changed cap diameters. The same cap that fits the Series II "soup can" reservoir, also fits the Series III dual master reservoir AND the clutch master, as well as both the clutch and brake reservoirs on the '96 Disco.

That's multitasking....

Late coming into the thread, but . . .

I have a Motive bleeder, and I agree that it does not seal well to the reservoir. It really has never benefited me at all because of this.
