This is the correct method if it feels like it didn't work need to bleed the abs pump which requires vcds

its still I wee bit spongy so it might be what you are saying with the abs pump needing bleeding is there anyone in the club in Glasgow that has vcds?

Too old for all that nowadays, my method is-

 

1. Drive car to my mechanic

2. Say 'Bleed the brakes on that mate'.

3. Go away for a bit.

4. Come back later when its done.

5. Pay the man.

6. Drive home.

 

You will know if you have done it correctly because if you

have your hands will be clean afterwards.

 

Job done and local economy stimulated.

That's so true about the stimulated part lol just trying keeping my back pocket intact but could not get the brake pedal  up enough by bleeding them twice so paid £30 to get them bled  just incase the abs block was full of air and hearing all this stuff about vcds and the possibility that the brake master cylinder could have been damaged because of driving the car with air in the system so just put it in to get done so lovely and firm now.

So you were right in a way my economy was stimulated.

:(

Old school way would be to to get a clear bottle, pipe into it from the bleed nipple and start pumping the pedal until no air bubbles come through into the bottle.

You need two people to do it this way obviously.

Don't these need to be pressure bled? Inread that pumping the pedal can damage the master cylinder or something.

well I did that with the bottle and fluid,tube in the fluid loosen bleed nipple someone else to pump the pedal did this twice but the pedal was better but not firm, like I said reading on the site you can damage the master cylinder and abs might have air so talk of  vcds and the like knowing my luck something else would be damaged so put it into a good garage he must have put the power bleader on it job done.
