Bled my system today, drained the old fluid through normal procedure at each corner, bled the MS, ran the pump, bled it again and got rid of some more air, got lazy and and used gravel drive to run abs pump, did all four corners again, perfect pedal 
How did you bleed the ms and ran the pump?
Remove the supply to the abs pump and bleed into a jar, like doing your callipers.
Used VC to run the pump until my battery died
Got through loads of brake fluid getting the air out but got a firm pedal after an inch of movement, will bleed again when I do my front discs and pads later in the summer.
Good trick from my dad was using a different colour fluid to purge the system, then purging till the colour changes with the correct fluid (also meant I did not waste the good stuff££).
Been having a mare with my ABS so after fixing that we checked the MS out (PITA getting to that) and decided to bleed the system to make sure its sorted.
One job off the list
