Sounds like you still could have air in your system,lines etc...failing that it could be a problem with your brake master cylinder,worn brake pads it could be quit few things you have to work through the whole of your brake system systematically to track down the problem but i would bleed them again and make sure it's done properly and there is no chance of air in the system first.SJ.

The large black round piece is the brake servo. That stays where it is and it is bolted from under the dash. You just need to remove the two nuts, disconnect all the brake pipes to the master cylinder and pull it all towards the front of the car.

Very doubtful. Usually servos will leak air which you can hear, makes the car run lumpy and will cause a hard brake pedal that won't stop the car. If your pedal is dropping to the floor then the chances are you've either got a damaged seal in the master cylinder or one of the seals has flipped round.

As you have had the calipers off to recondition them did you fit them on the right side So the bleed nipple is at the top of the caliper ? You can fit them on the wrong side with the nipple at the bottom and they will never bleed properly
I did mention it earlier in the thread but you didn't answer

When still pedal is still quite low, ideling however if you dab/push the break let off and back on in a faily quick concession there perfect, same when driving, dab the brakes low pedal, on/off the pedal there perfect..... It's like it's needs that first prime - press before they will work?...

Aye ours was doing the same thing, I did suspect a wheel bearing was gone for sometime. Although not making the usual wheel bearing noises! We got the wheel bearing changed and the problem has gone
