2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

Has anyone actually tried this method successfully? I'm asking because on most cars there are two problems associated with this method:

Firstly you are pushing the pistons on the master cylinder further down the bore than they usually travel so run the risk of damaging the piston seals on dry/corroded parts of the bore, leading to master cylinder failure.

Secondly, whilst the bleed nipple is loosened, air can enter the system via the thread, meaning you end up with a soft pedal. Some people overcome this by using plumber's PTFE tape on the thread but it does seem a bit dodgy.

Garages typically use a vacuum bleeding tool which avoids the above problems.

Has anyone tried using the Gunson pressure bleeding kit on their Sport with success? 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
