I've got a 5 Le Car turbo and i've had to renew several rigid and a couple of flexi-hoses.I've bled all the brakes in the correct sequence,fluid was getting pumped to each bleed nipple fine.After i got air bled i still have no brake resistance at the pedal?Considering fluid is pumping to all corners the master cylinder must be fine,nothing leaking,will the feel build back up after the servo kicks in and i fire the engine back up?(fuel lines off just now)

Without the engine running the pedal should feel more soild than usual, not less. It sounds to me like you have an airlock in the system somewhere. Try using a pressure bleeding system as that pushes the fluid through continually rather than 1 pump at a time by foot.
