Having boiled the brake fluid last week I had the system drained and refilled when the car was in for a service yesterday. The brake feel etc has returned to normal however, the biting point is further down the pedal than I would like.

Is this just a case of bleeding the brakes again or is there an adjuster, its a cerb 4.5

Draining is always dodgy, unless you're dismantling it its far better to simply flush it through with the new liquid. I wouldn't be surprised if you have an air lock somewhere.

Yep, sounds like air to me too.
