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

Just replaced the brake fluid on my wr1 a couple of weeks ago, got a friend to help me bleed the brakes.

Start with the caliper furthest away from the resevoir rear passenger, 2nd rear drivers, 3rd front pass, 4th front drivers.

I bleed the system one nipple at a time aswell starting with the one on the outside then moving to the one on the inside of the caliper.

Hope this helps and good luck

If it worked for you that's good enough for me. I did not realise there were two bleed nipples.

Cheers mate
