That's about the size of it Ian, if you don't have ABS check the bleed sequence as i think it's different on non-ABS cars.
Also a little tip, use a long bleed tube from the nipple to the receptacle and take it upwards from the caliper a few inches so that as soon as fluid enters it, you have a trap to prevent air getting back in. Also it helps show up bubbles as they come through and makes it easier to see the fresh fluid as well.
On my other beast i took the bleed hose up to the gap between the wing and bumper, the down to the receptacle - seem to recall when i last did the 760 i did the same then.
The Gunsons Eezibleed kit comes with a range of caps, one of which is the correct one for the Volvo master cylinder.. I top up the bottle after each caliper to be on the safe side.
