I have seen the recommendations for manual 2 person bleeding, like is done on many other vehicles, to be utilized for a 2000 Discovery II. I have also read that in order to properly get this done you have to take it to a dealer with some super computer equipment to purge the system. What gives? Is the computerized bleeding only needed on newer models of LRs?

Thanks

 

No, you don't need to unless you actually trapped a lot of air in the ABS unit. 2 person bleed works great, pump the brake pedal 3 times and hold it down while someone opens then closes the bleed screw. Continue to bleed the brakes, starting with the r/r then l/r, r/f and finsish with the L/f. Bleed each wheel till the brake fluid comes out clear, usually takes at least 1 quart of brake fluid, sometimes more.
Might try using Vavolines systhetic fluid which lasts longer.
