One Man Brake Bleeding Kits - Advice Needed

Lawnmower oil change kit from screwfix might do the job ?

I've got an easibleed and a vacuum kit and these worked brilliantly to get PITA twin front cylinders to bleed up on the LR but as you say you do need a compressor.

Two people, a bit of pipe and a jam jar still work especially if you are careful not to press all the way to the floor.

I've got a few, but the one I mainly use is just a one-way valve on the end of a tube. I put the tube on the bleed nipple, open it, then press the pedal a few times until there aren't any bubbles in the tube, making sure the reservoir is topped up. Like this one:

(sorry for the massive long link)

I like the idea of the pressure bleeders, but anticipate fluid going everywhere if I use one, so have never got to it.

Indeed, or just find yourself any random spare wheel/tyre that happens to be available to use for the job; even a bicycle/moped/trailer one would do as it only requires about 10-20psi or so.

May be a dumb question but why not all the way to the floor?

Same here, I could never get on with the pressure bleeders. As long as the end of the hose is submerged in brake fluid you don't even need a one way valve.

Goodrich Speed Bleeders, open 1/4 turn, pump the pedal 5 times and it's done. Not cheap, but on your keep forever car, worth it.

Even put one on the clutch of the Landy. And they made it easy to find a small leak in the pipework.

Indeed you can. I've had it happen twice to me, and that was enough for me to not consider having it happen again. If master cylinders are cheap for your cars, then its fine. But of course, it could be pricey for one, or worse, unavailable (early XJS masters have been NLA for some time for example, meeanng a refurbishment or rebuild is the only way).

IME:

-1 man kits can work, but I don't press down a load on the pedal due to the above, unless it's a fairly new(ish) car. They can be a bit of a faff as well.
-Eiizbleeds are good but they are a little faffy to work
-What Welshpug linked to I use. They are brilliant things. You can get adaptors to make them work on differnt items, but they do make the task of bleeding brakes very easy, and I've not struggled with brakes with those. For doing clutches they are handy as well, where some applications are trick to bleed (Fords being one example).

If you own a 00s BMW, you can use INPA to let the ABS pump do the bleeding for you, by activating the ABS pump, which is handy.
