Quick update.

ABS light was on do to a dodgy connection on the drivers side front sensor, so cleaned the connector up and got rid of the light. All the other test were fine

Bled it for the 100th time and still no pedal

So only thing i could think of trying now was to put the old pads back in and try to bleed it with them in.

Stuck the front ones in, pumped the pedal a couple of times to push the pistons out and hey presto the pedal is right at the top and solid as fuck, didnt even need to bleed them.

Im absolutely done in and cant explain why the fuck any of the above has happened.

So looks like im going to have to get a couple of mm skimmed of my new pads before i can put them back in.

How bazaar !!!!!

Cheers for your help Glen, much appreciated
