Hi Pete only just seen this.

I had a Fiat Multipla that had a strange bleed nipple on the clutch. It actually had a small circlip that had to be pulled out slightly to release the nipple. The nipple didn't screw, it slid in and out and had an o ring round it.

It's been years since I owned the Fiat Pete. If I recall there's nothing to stop the nipple flying out once you release the circlip but I think there was a second circlip slot in the bleed position. So you pull the circlip slightly, ease the nipple out until you can slide the circlip back in to hold it. It was awkward on the fiat so don't know how the Reno will be.
