The infamous Yellow Motorkahna Mini :(

Have you got a new master cylinder? Old ones invariably give these sort of problems. Single circuit or dual circuit? Regardless you should always start bleeding the rear cylinders first, normally:
rear left
rear right
front left
front right

Pump the pedal nice & slow otherwise the brake pressure limiting valve (mounted on the rear subframe) will block off the flow to the rears. Have fun...

UR exactly rite, except u dont pump the pedal, you open the bleeder slowly push the pedal down to the floor, lock up the bleeder while foots to the floor lift up and start again. prevent pressure locks in the mini's when you bleed.

Yeh Perth is fine, I'm gonna have a look at the Master cylinder and try a couple of the things suggested here before I take it into someone, mainly coz it is a bit of a mission getting it to perth etc.

Just curious.... I assumed my master cylinder was fine because I'm getting one of my brakes to bleed and there is no stiffness or anything. Still learning here as I go. Can anyone tell me exactly what I'm looking for as far as a fault in the master cylinder... I dunno.... how do i tell if its dicked i guess is what I'm asking?

Really appreciating your help here guys. Thanks tunz
