    Bleeding brakes / Clutch

    Please save me hunting VW/Vauxhall Corsa forums for a basic "Yes/No/ doesn't matter"answer to my pretty simple question..

    When bleeding the Clutch slave cylinder does it form part of the system bleed order? Or can it be done anytime, e.g first action or last action in the sequence?

    I will admit I just do it randomly or in many cases not at all!!

    One "note to self" don't pump the pedal like a brake system it's pointless!!!
    After all this time stupid basic mistakes make me look (even more of) a fool...

    I've now got all three cars with brake issues of one sort or another..
    V40 yellow - Rock hard brakes, hope fluid loss is into the booster, but can't get the master cylinder undone still.
    V40 blue - Weak brakes, just needs a fluid change.
    S40 Silver - boiled brakes at Silverstone... Complete fluid replacement, even clutch is at the floor..

    brake and clutch are completely separate, apart from sharing the fluid reservoir.
