[s-cars] Brake bleed order

[Mark Pollan]

I posted privately to Ian indicating that the clutch slave should be bled
first.  I could not find reference to this in the Bentley but did in the
Haynes (albeit the Haynes is not for the S6).  The caveat in the Haynes for
bleeding the clutch first is "if the system is being bled after the removal
and refitting of the master cylinder it will also be necessary to bleed the
clutch...this should be done first".

I guess if you are just flushing the system it does not matter.

Regards,

Mark "not tryin' to start nothin'" Pollan

Ian,

 The order is always fartherst from the master to closest. On the S-cars
this is: 1) passenger side rear 2) driver side rear 3) passenger side front
4) drivers side front then the clutch slave.
