I have to admit that this gravity bleed method is not exactly what I would say "100%" as it start's off ok but then stop's !!!(that's what happened when I tried it a couple of 3 week's ago ).

I overcame this by pushing the pedal down by about an inch a couple of time's when it did stop and I do have a pretty solid pedal .

Not that it was bad before .I was just replacing my fluid with the Superblue stuff .

It should only stop if you run out fluid. And then you'll have to start all over again.

I've done it a couple of times, but never felt it was any better than my usual pipe with valve method.

I've usually gone FR,RR,RL,FL, because somebody told me to and was adamant that was "right" and any other way wouldn't work. But if you search you'll probably find 20 different versions of the "right" sequence. I think it makes bugger all difference.

I kept the master cylinder topped up .

The brake fluid seemed to flow ok from cracking the bleed screw ,I could see it gradually flowing down the tube and into the jar .

I kept an eye on the level in the jar going up bearing in mind I was waiting for the blue fluid to come through , however it stopped after a while . A quick couple of small pump's on the pedal got the blue through .

Had to do this on all 4 wheel's .

I think pretty much any method will 'work'. It's more a question of the best method to expel all the old fluid and not get it mixed with the new.

I can't say I had any issues with this approach and I had the time to do it. Didn't touch the pedals at all.
@jsh - did you run the car so the fluid was warm? I also warmed the Blue can in the sun before adding. Flowed fine on all wheels even if I probably should have started on LF (didn't think about Billmans being US so reversed!)

No I didn't warm up the fluid first . My reasoning being that by the time I'd got the wheel / wheel's off it would have cooled down again .

Don't get me wrong . This gravity bleed did nearly work . It just needed a couple of small pump's at the end on each corner .Small pump's because I did not want the master cylinder piston seal's to get onto unused and maybe crudded up part of the cylinder !!
