Bleeding the brakes on a Ford Escort GTi

I have bled as the haynes states :

Passenger Front
Driver Rear
Driver Front
Passenger Rear

Problem is, no fluid will go through the driver front caliper.I took the brake pipe off the caliper to find that no fluid was coming through there either !

To make sure I hadnt knackered the master cylinder etc , I checked that the passenger rear would still bleed even though the driver front wouldnt. It bled fine !

So is something blocking the Drivers front brakeline ?

How can I sort this ?

If the m/c has four pipes to it(?) you may have trapped air there, to blled the m/c just get a helper to depress the pedal then you hold your thumb over the nhole for the brake pipe in question, they thehj release the pedal, then release your finger do this a few times and ti will get rid of any air int he m/c.
