cool, cheers mate.
i started with o/s rear, n/s rear, o/s front, n/s front. will give it another go as there was still air bubbles in the tube, but i put that down to the vac bleeder sucking air through the the threads on the nipples, as when i opened them with no hose on i just brake fluid coming out with no bubbles.
will try again with some tube and see if there is still air in them.
cheers mate
