Just a question.
If you pump the brakes with engine off, so the pedal goes hard.
The depress pedal and start engine. The pedal should go down a small amount as the servo status to work.
If it goes to the floor this means something but I can't remember.

Bled again with one way valve. Went across town, all good. New bleeders on front, what size bleed screws for the rear cylinders, does Baxter do them?
