This one crops up everytime someone asks this question.
I always say do the shortest first as that's what the vauxhall manual says to do with the abs unit, others strongly dissagree and say longest first (as it usually is).

So try one, if that doesnt work, try the other [img]/tongue.gif[/img]

I find on cavs/astras/novas/calibras they bleed up really easy no matter what order you do it in.

iv always done shortest 1st and had no issues, only problem iv has is the pressure bleed kits not doing the job, the brake pedal 2 man method sorts that tho.
