hi my 1996 discovery had a leak on the brake line that comes from under the front passenger wheel back to the rear axel,i replaced the pipe myself after buying copper pipe and aflaring kit,i was happy how the new pipe was installed but now im unsure exactly how to bleed it and are there several bleed nipples on each wheel,can anyone advise me please
thanks mark

start with the line closest the master cylinder and work your way away from it.

Hmmm, I always do it t'other way round, rear nearside, rear offside, front nearside then front offside ... Never had a problem!

Any road up, "several bleed nipples on each wheel" Huh? A '96 Disco ought to be a 300 Tdi which only has one bleed nipple on each caliper. The earlier 200tdi had two bleed nipples .. How many are there on each caliper? Any pictures 'cos if there are more it might not be a Landy ...

??????? one or maybe two per caliper, start with wheel furthest away from master and work your way forward ending with one closest to master

get a pressure bleeder, makes it a one man job rather than 'up/down' two man job
