If you have a friend who can weld I'd move that bleed point on the top pipe to the highest position possible, as the new hose your using goes up a little air can be both trapped in the top of the metal top pipe and in the top of that hose, best thing you could do is as your filling it try to push it down to encourage air to go to the bleed point.

Location: Midlands		Rover 416 airbox is the one that you want to clear the slave cylinder. Its what i used on the Si as the 400 range had a slave cylinder in a similar position.
