I'm not sure. Offers of work are coming in so I don't know which country I'll be in from one week to the next. Nothing booked right now.

Ja I've seen Needster's needs.

aw man, no way... we won't see you for ages again... :( i miss you already.
 
OK, contrary to what most people have recommended, according to the Haynes manual the bleed sequence for brakes is:

a. Left hand front
b. right hand front
c. left hand rear
d. right hand rear.

This is for 2001-2005 Clio with ABS. Just thought you might like to know. I think for non-ABS is rears first, fronts last.
 
From the Renault manual not Haynes. I've never found it to make any difference myself.

– rear right-hand circuit,
– front left-hand circuit,
– rear left-hand circuit,
– front right-hand circuit.

:S You might have something interesting to say, i've read it 3 times and can't understand what you're trying to say.... could you type it again but without the text typing please?

haha im used to txting thats why, ill edit it for you mate sorry.

rightt... bleed from say the near/side/rear, keep somthing pressed down on your brake peddle and then keep fluid pouring into were u put yh brake fluid that shoud get rid of yh air lock, it cud take i while depending on how much air uve drawn in. just make sure fress brake fluid has went to every conor. e.g

Right front
left front
right rear
left rear

hope this is better for you mate P.M me if i have worded it better haha.

So what did we decide is the best order to do them in using nearside and offside please not left and right....?

It made a difference in this instance. No matter how much I bled through, the air lock would not clear without starting all over again at the first corner.

For me, the airlock cleared by doing;

NSR - OSR - NSF - OFS

Once I got back to the OSF, the air splurged. OSF was the corner I was bleeding when I sucked air in, if that makes a difference. Either way, the order they are done in does make a difference if you've managed to suck air in.
