Bleed left hand drive cars in this order, R/rear, L/rear, R/front and L/front.
Thanks for taking the time to describe the basic procedure. I have found the detailed procedure on the forum. It's very good. I'll also check the pads when I have the wheels off and post the results on this thread. Just waiting for the fluid to show up.
