Hi John. I maybe wrong mate, but it sounds like you are bleeding them in the wrong sequence... You mystery start at the drivers rear, bleed that, then passenger rear, then drivers front, then finally passenger side. The car ideally should be on the ground do the compensaters are doing their thing (or be under tension with some tranny jacks if it's in the air). That would be my first stab as to why it's doing what it's doing. Always work from the furthest brake away from the cylinder inwards

Hi

thanks for your help a lot of the problem was the whol;e of the brake system was new and it was just a point of being patient as the fluid took so long to get to the rear plus a line full of air.

i appriciate your advise and will be a bit mor epatient nest time
thanks again
