Breda,

Yup this should do it as your driving air out of the longest lines first.

Do it in reverse and Bob's Yer Uncle.

Guys,

I changed and flushed the brake fluid on my BN4 recently.(dot 4)

I felt that I bleed them well with a one man kit, however I now have a
spongy pedal, leading to a very good pedal on the second pump.

Now looking back I think I may have bleed them in the wrong sequence, I
started at the front nearest the master cylinder, onto the front l/h and
back r/h then back l/h. 

I guess I should have started at the wheel furthest away from the cylinder?

This would I take it make a difference?
