Right thanks for your help everyone I'm going to go down and give it another crack armed with a cup of tea, some patience and a dad. I'll let you know how I get on....hopefully I'll get to work afterall tomorrow.
Oh... It may not be lent over enough. Take it off the sidestand and lean over more (without dropping it), count to 10 and then put it upright again. If you see airbubbles rising in the reservoir then repeat leaning over and upright again and again until there is no more bubbles. Then bleed the brakes from the caliper as normal. This worked for me last week when I fitted braided brake hose to mine.
