    yeh are they the right way up? as in are the nipples at the top?

    otherwise u get an air bubble at the top of the calipers and it will sit up the top no matter how much u bleed it, they call it gravity or sumthing

    i had the same problem when i did my rx7 conversion


    EDIT** u already said u had them the right way up...my bad

    when you say you bled them properly, what do you mean by this? because clearly they arent working.

    was there a steady, clean flow of fluid comming from the bleed valve, no bubbles? same for each caliper?

    unless theres fluid/air leak then sounds like they havnt bled properly.

    Yep, steady, no bubbles flow from each caliper and the rears.

    is the handbrake tight and does it lock the rears at low speed?

    hmmm this is a weird one....

    rod adjustment between the pedal and the master cylinder. lawsons van doesn the same thing.

    are you able to get under the dash area and see if the rod that comes of the brake pedal has a threaded section on it.
    if it does, try winding it out, so it extends and shortens the travel needed to push on the back of the master cylinder.

    Forgot to add, the pedal is completely soft on first push, goes straight to the bumpstop, can be pumped up tho.

    sounds like a unbled master, take it off and bench bleed it, and then put it back in, its probably skipping a line somewhere.
