[TR] Bleeding Clutch Slave Cylinder

Guess it's not so obvious to me ... that is exactly the symptom I got both
with a broken taper pin; and with a broken spring inside the MC.  Really bad
slave adjustment combined with a tired or broken slave return spring could
do it too, I think.

Personally, I have always been able to bleed the TR3's clutch by simply
pumping it up, holding the pedal down for 10-20 seconds, then releasing the
pedal and waiting for another 10-20 seconds.  Repeat the process 4 or 5
times, then go for a drive.  The returning slave piston should force the
bubbles into the line, which will then rise and work their way out through
the MC.

Sounds odd, but it works for me.
