164 brakes
Many thanks constructive points.
Brief update - bled again today and slightly better so I do think it’s a matter of residual air still. Gave up with vacuum bleeder, despite just cracking nipple open it still drags in air (should Hv renewed these, no doubt) so cannot get a clear idea if bleeding done. Went back to basics, however have since made a pressure bleeder system to attach to MC and will use that tomorrow to see if improves.
Rear of car was elevated.
All nipples bled in order, 3 on each front corner and one on each rear.
No, brake warning switch not removed - thought would just let air enter through there? Or it it not opening into hydraulic system just into space between both circuits?
Cylinder NOT honed but surface was good, no ridge. Car has been stood many years so was fairly sure seals were shot and leaking by under pedal pressure.
I think pressure is the way forward so will update tomorrow if my Heath-Robinson setup does the job. Had a spare MC cap so will rig on there fed by spare wheel so no over-pressure.
