Have you looked on SELOC for a guide on how to do it?

Bummer - who says all this computer trickery is good?

Muncher, I think the problem is that the ABS system has valves in it which open and close as the system sees fit, and when the car is off they are probably all closed so the fluid can't flow and the brakes won't bleed.

Turn the ignition on.

worth a try?

Been talking to people and the ABS isn't the problem I think it's probebly to do with the inside front pistons having a link to the outside from the bottom, ie air gets trapped in them. So shall try bleeding them inverted then rebleed normally....

Hopefully it will work.

James,

Are you using an Easy-Bleed or similar? From what I understand they are a must have for this kind of job.

Find the shortest line/caliper from the master cylinder and tap it with a soft mallet to dislodge bubbles.
With the ign on have a helper pump while you bleed the line.
The shortest line usually has the smallest volume of air in it so the master cylinder has a better chance at moving the air.
Work from shortest circuit to the longest.
This is the opposite procedure to typical.
