Fred, who is the best guy in the whole wide world, loaned me his speedee
bleeder (a proper one that hooks to the tire and has a regulator) which makes
this the easiest job in the world.
The guys who said air in the lines were right, everything now works as it
should.
Having used one, the next time I need to do brakes I'll either borrow Fred's
again or buy my own bleeder, its not worth mucking about with any other method,
you open the bleed line, the air comes out followed by fluid, you let as much
fluid as you want to purge come out and you're done. I imagine it makes
changing the fluid very easy.
That reminds me I should see if the adapter he has fits the Ranger, I should
replace the fluid in that while I have the bleeder.

If you don't want to bother with pressure bleeding, drip bleeding will
probably be fine.
