And yes, i'll push it through until clean

As I understand it, you work your way back to the master from the furthest point

Is that on a 3 or 4 channel ABS system?   

it's on everything. Twice around the car is normally enough to get a decent pedal after fitting a new master cylinder or most of the brake pipes.

I just remember Haynes giving two orders of bleeding depending on age. I could never really see a reason why.

Before ABS, when I could actually get under a car, the general rule was to start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder, then the next furthest - and so on. I understand that it uses the least amount of brake fluid and effort - yes?

ABS makes no difference. You just need to watch you don't get air in the ABS unit.

Also, those with tech2, partway through bleeding, run return pump, just to get that bit of old fluid into the main system...  ...though that's probably in the realms of anal

.. unless your return pump is "regularly exercised" anyway, of course.

Which obviously mine never would, being the model citizen

Which obviously mine never would, being the model citizen

Every time I drive around MK (which I did last night - peeled off the M1 at the A421 and skirted around MK to avoid the accident on the motorway) I think about you and your driving.. and the fact that everyone seems to drive around MK like it's some kind of race track with roundabouts

My experience is that Keynees drive excruciatingly slow, and immediately get in the outside lane on the offchance they might need to turn right in 25 roundabouts' time.

But, then, a significant number of Keynees don't have a licence, and some have never had one.
