Bleeding Brakes

I have just finished putting in braided lines and doing up calipers, master and booster.

There would be plenty on this forum that has had to bleed the full system numerous times and wondering if anyone has a prefered method. Is it best to start at the front or the rears, working back and forward?

Any advice welcome.

Start at the wheel farthest from the brake master cylinder, and work your way to the master cylinder from there. For a RHD Starion, that'd be:

Rear Passengers.
Rear Drivers.
Front Passengers.
Front Drivers.

The rear bias valves can sometimes be a little tricky to bleed past, but you'll eventually get there. If you can get hold a vacuum bleeder, even better.

Keep that master cylinder topped up at all times, if you let it run out, and suck air in, you'll have to start all over again.
