Well lets just say until I discovered this forum the only point of reference I had was the Haynes book of lies...
I've been using it's recommended bleed procedure: ``drop the height lever with engine running, allow to settle on min, switch off, slacken the 12mm bleed screw on pressure regulator a ¼ turn and wait until `whistling stops’ then retighten, set to max height and restart engine.
But I've since seen on here some variations: same as above with door/boot open…
also
``when the suspension needs to be bled,the lever in the car needs to be at the highest position,engine running at idle,undo the "bleed screw" 1/4 turn,leave about 3 minutes and then tighten(NIP ONLY) the bleed screw.then lower the lever to its normal position,the suspension is now bled correctly!!.
So it's possible I've been doing it wrong all these years... the story of my life.
Thanks
Steve

As always with technical issues - there are several routes to the goal [:)]
Dont worry - you have done right. Other people do it other ways. But I'd say your way is the most correct - or safe if you like.
