so your pipe thats dry is the back right and the front left , so looks like your master cylinder again

New master cylinder now fitted all brakes bled BUT the first press of the pedal goes along way down before it stops. Second press is ok, so is there any other way air can get in, my pipes are ok no leaks. beginning to loose patients with it now :(

Have finally cracked it :clap: :dance: . managed to get the seized bleed nipple undone on the passenger front caliper and bled it and the other 3 (being 4 pot calipers there 4 bleed nipples per caliper). Allc sorted now and stopping on a sixpence again. I'm happy :D

I have learnt never to trust brakes 100%, always err on the side of caution when braking ie never slam them on at the last minute as they may fail anytime
