Recently had new discs / pads fitted and the brakes didn't need bleeding. Just push the pistons back. Make sure you pump the brake pedal a few times before setting off after fitting!

Cheers,

Ian.

When you push the pistons back, just watch that the fluid does not over flow (more for the mess it can make than anything else). Since you have an earlier car, it should not be too much of an issue, but if you have upgraded it with bigger calipers (=bigger pistons = more back flow) etc...

Cheers
