Brake bleeding

[iLikeDuplo]

Hi all,
Am planning on doing all discs and pads this weekend - George @ RTR has been fantastic help on this!
Wanted to check what the approved order for bleeding the brakes is? Seem to be lots of differing views.

Have found that people are suggesting one of the following:
N/S/R -> O/S/R -> N/S/F -> O/S/F (which is the one I'd do by default)
or
N/S/R -> O/S/F -> O/S/R -> N/S/F (working diagonally)

Car is a 182 Cup.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers

Was always told start with the one furthest away and bleed through.

I was always told to empty the master reservoir from the cap, top up and start with the nearest(offside front) and work back to the furthest.

This has always worked for me. Having tried both ways, I can only say the furthest first method is the only way that's gone wrong for me. But seldom ever happens.

2) Bleeding of the hydraulic assembly.
IMPORTANT: observe the order of bleeding starting with the right rear, brake, then left rear, left front then right front.
That's from the Renault manual.

Yup that's the order I do it in. It seems odd that the osr is furthest away but then you look at the pipe run and realise why.
