have you tryed bleeding the brakes from the furthest from the master cylinder first then next furthest and so on? (furthest being the longest run of brake pipe) this may cure your problem. if not im stumped!

EDIT: you could also try opening all the bleed nipples at once and leaving it to drip through for a bit, just be sure the reservoir is full all the time

hope this helps

Hi, yep, have always bled in the logical ordar, furthest away first. Im happy to try anything that may get it to work at the moment.

I have now got through my first 4 litre can of fluid but Ill keep giving it a go and see what happens. One thing i notinced is when using the prussurised bleeding kit(20psi) once i finish bleeding but without having removed the kit, the brakes work relatively well and only take around 2-3 pumps of the pedal to get firm, however this would be expectd as it is pressurising it to 20psi.

Thanks.
