Just an update on this. Purchased the pressurised bleeder and finally got around to changing the brake fluid three days ago. Also made sure to have the instructions for the bleeder and the brake bleeding procedure to hand. All in, it took me about two hours to do. A long time you may think, but I wanted to ensure that I was doing everything exactly right and wasn't going to be rushed. Going by the old brake fluid I disposed of, I also bled the lines a little longer than necessary, just to be sure, to be sure, to be sure! So thanks to all who helped.

BTW This is what happens when you're brain is scrambled and you want to change the brake fluid by yourself!



Could have done it just one wheel at a time!
