hi
If my memory serves me, star with the furthest away from the
master cylinder, the off side rear, off near side rear, off
sider front, off near side front.
Make sure you blead the brake master cylinder first though.

Tip: Always back off all the brake adjusters before you start
bleeding, to allow the pistons to return into the brake
cylinders. This leaves very little space in the brake cylinders
for fluid and any air trapped in it.
Cheers Mick

Did this yesterday, and it worked first time, no air left in the
system, and a nice feel to the pedal. Definitely the way to do
it.
Cheers
Simon.
