I am having trouble with the clutch on my series 3, I thought that I had correctly bled the clutch but perhaps not.
Please correct me if I am wrong:

• Glass coffee jar on the floor with one end of the hose submerged in brake fluid and the other end attached to the nipple of the slave cylinder.
• With the nipple backed off 1/4 turn, I fill the reservoir at the master cylinder and tighten the lid.
• Pump the clutch peddle until almost at the floor, hold it there for 2 seconds and allow peddle to return to the top before repeating the process three times.
• On the third push of the peddle I hold it down until the bleed nipple is tightened up.

Once again, I thank you in advance!

 

There are lots of methods, but 'three' pumps is not a magic number. The number of cycles is how ever many it takes to get all of the air out.

I use this unit from Motive for doing brakes and clutches on most vehicles. It allows for one person bleeding with minimal hassle. I use the 'glass jar' dry to catch waste.
