Thanks Bibio - that makes sense. i will give that a whirl next.

yes, sorry I've been through so many things i forgot to mention i have tried tapping the brake lines whilst bleeding as well.

The only thing is that i was hoping to get the bike in for an MOT and the way it is now i am worried about the "excessive travel" fail. The lever adjuster is already on 1 and the lever pulls with no resistance to about 1cm from the grip and then only then can you feel the lever harden slightly.

There is obviously pressure in there as one of the discs you can actually see flexing under the pressure from the pads when the lever is pulled.
