I can relate to Roger's experience with the Motive bleeder: works well but easy to make a mess!
The following is from the WIS. They are apparently using a vacuum bleeder.

Bleeding the brake system
Tightening torque for air nipple 16 Nm (12 lbf ft)
1. Open the cap on the brake fluid reservoir and top up with brake fluid.
2. Raise the car. Connect the bleeder hose to the air nipple on the front left brake
caliper and open the nipple. Drain about 100 ml brake fluid. Use 88 19 096 Bleeding
equipment.
Top up with fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
Note: Top up after each time the fluid is drained.
3. Tighten the nipple, fit the rubber plug, move the brake bleeder to the air nipple on
the rear right brake caliper and open the nipple. Drain about 50 ml brake fluid.
Top up with fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
4. Tighten the nipple, fit the rubber plug, move the brake bleeder to the air nipple on
the front right brake caliper and open the nipple. Drain about 100 ml brake fluid.
Top up with fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
5.
Tighten the nipple, fit the rubber plug, move the brake bleeder to the air nipple on
the rear left brake caliper and open the nipple. Drain about 50 ml brake fluid.
Top up with fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
6. Tighten the nipple, fit the rubber plug and lower the car to the floor.
7. Check the operation of the brakes. Depress the brake pedal and check that it does
not feel spongy or go all the way down to the floor.
8. Check the brake fluid level and adjust as necessary.
