Order for bleeding brakes?

I know you start at the back, but can't remember which side to do first?

you doing them all?

if so start furthest away from the master cylinder, i think the m-cylinder is on the drivers side on sports? if so:
start at the passenger rear
then drivers rear
then passeanger front
then drivers front

Thats the order i would do it anyway, every car iv done iv started furthest away from m-cylinder

I was always told to work in diagonals as that's how the system is fed on the 1*2's.

Passenger rear,
Drivers front.
Drivers rear,
Passenger front.

I doubt it makes a massive difference tbh unless you're doing a full fluid change.
 
as Da, practically speaking, it doesn't seem to make any odds

the 'correct' order is to start with the wheel furthest the master cylinder (NSR), then the other in the diagonal circuit (OSF), then the other rear, etc

Thanks guys! Seem to be so many conflicting methods on here - So desperate to not f*ck it up...
 
i'd make sure the bleed nipples are all free before starting. and use an Easibleed, as they're a doddle to use one-man (just make sure it'll seal properly before filling the bottle - it's explained in the instructions)

don't need to raise the car or remove the wheels to do the rears, but you will the fronts
