OK, after another day of trying to get the brakes to work i still havnt had much success. Firstly i tried what was suggested, and fistly, after moving the adjusters, for some reason,after a few pumps of the pedal it became reasonably stiff and only took about 2-3 pumps to fully lock the brakes. At this point i thought if i bleed them agan, i should end up with working brakes, so i went ahead and bled them, and a few air bubbles came out, however, now the brakes are back to what the were earlier, and the pedal can be pumped many many times before it gives much resistance at all.

I also angled the brake ligt sensor so its sideways, but that didnt seem to do anything. IM not sure tis the master cylinder that has a problem,a s at one point the brakes were reasonably stiff, however i may just buy another one to see if it helps as this is really becoming very frustrating.
