still got brake problems

[fatfires]

roughtrax advised me to bleed without any pumping of the pedal, top the resovoir full, use a tube into a clear bottle with fluid in the bottom, open the nipple, when no bubbles showing tighten up
it worked for me spot on, and done single handed!

There's still some air in the fluid then.
With the transmission in 'p' pull the handbrake on and off a few times (don't touch the footbrake) this will adjust the rear shoes.

Did you bleed the brakes in the correct order?
Start at the wheel furthest away from the reservoir and finish at the nearest.
There's a bleed nipple on the L.S.P.V. too.
Does the pedal feel firmer if pumped?

Does ya break pedal feel any better with the Handbrake on ??
Can ya pump the Foot pedal n build it up so it feel better ??
Are the Rear brakes fully adjusted ?
I'd go along with Lee, get 2 people n finger bleed the brakes as Vince said ...

ive fitted new rear cylinders and bleed the whole system, and still the brake pedal goes to the floor. It still brakes but only just.
Any ideas?

brakes

i had a similar problem with my 3.0 last year could not seem to be able to get a good pedal,
always seemed to sink to the floor,
we bled the brakes several times before we got it any good,
we used a brake bleed pipe and that was the problem,
as when we tried to bleed the rear brakes useing only a spanner and my thumb it worked spot on ?

if you do find that it is either the master cylinder or the servo i do have one off the car and ready to send ?
