Question

Is it ok to pressure bleed the brakes on a legacy using a kit such as gunson esibleed as I've read that it's not suitable for some ABS cars ?

I don't think that there is an 'easibleed' adapter that fits the Scooby fluid reservoir.

Just get a bit of pipe, a bottle and a friend to pump the pedal. Easy.

Davids right the Easibleed won't fit.
Use the Halfords simple kit which is basically a bottle with pipe and a non return valve. Bleed as follows, near side rear, off side rear, near side front, off side front ... then repeat the sequence. If you put about a litre of fluid through evenly then you will have changed the whole lot effectively.
