Just a quicky I'm bleeding my LHD 964 tomorrow, is there an order to bleed the brakes from empty? They are bone dry at the moment and some cars have to bled in a specific order Hopefully not mine but if anyone knows help appreciated.

Don't think there's a specific order, but there are 2 bleed nipples per caliper, so make sure the inner one is done too. If it's a C4, it's a completely different brake system...

As with all cars, start with the one furthest away from the master cylinder.

Many thanks, this has all stemmed from me doing a friends Rx-7 recently, what a weird braking system.

Don't forget the clutch slave, and possible the master cyl/servo to for good measure. That way the same fresh fluid is in all areas.
