You should always do the longest line first, which on the 197 is drivers side rear, then passenger side rear and so on. The brakes on the Clio are a bit of a git to do.

I normally find I have to bleed them out in the above sequence, start the car and pump the brakes a bit more, then bleed them again.

The rear drivers side can be a nightmare, chappo's was a doddle, his fronts were a git though lol

Thanks for the advice guys, Is there a 'best' way to tackle the three bleed nipples on the front calipers??

well there are only 2 nipples on each caliper

i always go outside first, then inside, then a quick double check on the outside again
