best to bleed the lot anyway....fresh fluid always helps things to stop nicely

The brakes share the same master cylinder, but as I understand it the system splits into two circuits, the first controls the front right and rear left and the second the front left  and rear right. The idea is that if one ciruit fails the car should still break fairly evenly.
