I've got a Le Car turbo and i've had to renew several rigid and a couple of flexi-hoses.I've bled all the brakes in the correct sequence,fluid was getting pumped to each bleed nipple fine.After i've got air bled i still have no brake resistance at the pedal?Considering fluid is pumping to all corners the master cylinder must be fine,nothing leaking,will the feel build back up after the servo kicks in and i fire the engine back up?(fuel lines off just now)

Do you mean you've bled the brakes so its pumping with no bubbles but the pedals not firm? Have you tried asking on the RTOC?

Yeah no bubbles at all in the fluid,yet no real brake pedal feel,pedaljust goes all the way down with just a little resistance,pedal doesn't firm up on the way down like it should,i'll ask at the Royal Twitchers ornithology club,see what they say?
