Checked master cylinder reservoir and its full.

Not sure how I'd go about bleeding from the banjo?
Sure it would hget pretty bloody messy.

Whether I do that or not though, I'll still need to bleed the lines to make sure no air in there, does it matter whether to do LHS or RHS caliper first?

Generally you do the furthest from the master first, if you've got dual lines off the master, then I'd suggest it doesn't matter which one you start with.

I used some Bendix ultra premium stuff, it's blue (got it from SCA) you'll be able to tell when you're onto the new fluid if you use something like that.

Just put a rag under it and put pressure on the lever and crack the banjo nut pulling in the lever, tighten nut and repeat a few times.Rinse with water and job done, may not be that, but it certainly won`t hurt to check that no air is trapped in there, I always do it as a matter of course these days.
