Start from the wheel that is furthest away and work forward.

Don't forget the bleed nipple on the master, a bit of a pig!

I drilled a hole through the inner wing above it, used a 1/4" drive ratchet and socket and plugged the hole with a rubber bung.
Just rememberd there's a bleed nipple on the master did u manage to get a pipe on also to bleed it ?.

I don't know why it is there but bleeding at that point does the job.

I've previously used an easy bleed on the car and worked my way round the wheels about three times and still only had half a peddle.
I bled the master cylinder and instantly had a full pedal.
I've just bleed the master cylnder as phazed has said and u are correct sir I also now have a full pedal
Thanks for your help
