Bleedin' citroens

A few weeks ago I had to make a new brake pipe for a citroen berlingo, and when I came to bleed the system I had a lot of trouble. Turns out that the master cylinder points down at the front to such an extent that the fluid does not go over the baffle into the rear chamber of the reservoir. So if you are having trouble, you need to jack the front of the vehicle up as high as possible. Hope this stops anybody else suffering like me, because I was pretty much getting ready to torch the thing.
