Default Brake fluid change bleed order?

I am changing the brake fluid on my UK 2006 WRX which has standard Brembo brakes. I have downloaded the Workshop manual Pdf from this site but am wondering if the manual is for LHD or RHD and if it makes a difference.

The order it said they should be bled is Front right, Rear left, Front left then Rear right.

Any help appriciated

I'm not sure, I've always thought you started from the furthest wheel away.

as in, rear N/S, rear O/S, front N/S then front O/S, basically doing the closest wheel to the master cylinder last.

I might be wrong though, if I am my dad will get a kicking.

That is the way I have always done it on other cars but according to the workshop manual the Impreza is different.
