Having gone through quite a brake saga on my car - first check that your master cylinder is bled. Take the pipes out and fit bleed nipples into each port. Then pick a nipple and put a hose on it looped back into the reservoir. Now pump the fluid round and round until you see no air. Also worth tapping the master cylinder. Push slowly and quickly to move any stubborn air. Repeat for each port. Then connect up one line at a time and pump the fluid through (or use the easibleed). If using an easibleed you might want to give the pedal a pump every so often with the easibleed connected. Repeat for each line until you get a good solid pedal. An most importantly make sure your master cyl push rod is long enough!
