Right well a bit of progress!
My mate popped round just as i had dropped it back onto the wheels. Hes a ranault mechanic, it would seem my fatal mistake was draining the system

So there was have it people even i make mistakes.
Anyway, i was convinced it was the rear brakes. So i jacked it up, popped the drums off, levered the handbrake ratchets back so the pistons in the cylinders returned home and re-bled them!
ive got a pedal now although its not quite as firm and the pads havent yet been run in, i did literally drive down the road and managed to lock a wheel up so im guna drive steady and maybe re-blead again if things havent improved.
