Got the broken bleed nipple out and put a new on in - bled the calipers and the master cylinder again and it's still the same - ordered a new master cylinder to see if that cures it.
nova_rally - It's not that hard and similiar to how RogerQ stated above:
01 - Slide drivers seat back as far as possible.
02 - Get in the footwell and look under dash at the brake pedal arm.
03 - You'll see near the top of the arm there is a pin sliding through a bracket onto the arm.
04 - On the other end of that pin there is a spring arm and a clip - remove both of them.
05 - Push pin out.
06 - You should now be able to remove the U shaped bracket off the pedal arm.
07 - You'll notice the U shape bracket is on a thread rod and tightened up by a 15mm nut.
08 - Loosen the nut and the U bracket can now be turned up or down the thread.
09 - To udjust up turn the U bracket towards the end of the threaded rod, to Loosen turn it the other way.
10 - A small turn makes a big difference so try and do it in half turn measures - do it too much and your brakes will bind, if that happens then just loosen it a touch.
11 - Refitting is a reversal of removal
12 - Take it for a test and adjust as required.
Ok, just bookmarked this gonna go play with the pedal tomorrow. Brakes are sticking again atm though, gonna have to regrease the sliders! :evil:
Before you go messing with the master cylinder bleed it from the nipples only, not using a pressurised bleeder or anything like that, just the good old fashioned way as described in Haynes manual. If that fails check all the brake pipes and joins for leaks.
a Mates master Cylinder is currently leaking fluid into the brake servo, giving absolutely awful brakes (obviously)... might be worth checking as well.

They have been bled from the nipples into a normal (non pressurised) container using 2 people.Originally Posted by nova_rally
There seems to be no leaking as the fluid level has stayed the same.
I think it came from when I pumped all the old fluid out of the system so I could renew it - I probably knackered the master cylinder seals by pushing it further that it normally travels - At least that's the theory!!
:o
very possible mate

Or there might have been a bit of crap in there that knacked a seal when you pumped the fluid out. Just a thought Jules
I'll find out tomorrow when I change the master cylinder - By god it better solve the bloody problem!!
