Hi Everyone
I am new to this site had a snoop before registering, noticed there is a big tech/help area.
So here goes. fingers crossed

I have a 300Tdi disco with ABS on a "M" 1994, it has a 3" lift. The other month whilst off-roading at the local club site i nipped and spilt the extended broke hose to the front offside wheel this causing me to loss quite a bit of fluid by the time i got it the few mile back home, but since changing the said hose i am unable to get a good pedal again its been bleed many times by different people and every way possibly (pressured, with engine running, starting from different wheels ) but with NO LUCK :'(  :shocked: After bleeding the system the pedal seems fine but it soon starts to creep down even when stationary or whether the engine is running or not.
I have replaced the master cylinder (new)
Checked the bearings
Replaced the brake pads
I have a good suction from the vacuum pump (almost drags you down the pipe )
So if anyone can suggest or knows this fault pleaseeeeeeeeeee help as now pulling hair out and need to get and play again as having withdrawals

crazymac:
The only thing is have you got another small leak somewhere? Is it drawing just the slightest amount of air in somewhere down the line?

Have you tried a pressure bleed system?

J.D.:
Check the brake pipe union joints on the pipe you replaced, make sure they are tight.

But will check the joints  again

If you have ABS there may be a more involved bleeding problem. Our RRC (I know! Wrong forum!) revisited a local garage three times before I gave up, bought a manual and did it myself. Not that difficult just follow the steps to the letter.

good luck
