It can sometimes take ages, like 20 minutes, of pumping to start getting a firm pedal agin if you've done a full on fluid change.

 

Other problem could be a worn master cyclinder. as you brake normally the piston shaft (oo er matron!) travels only a few mm. Over time the action of the seals rubbing on this section will wear it fractionlly. Then, when you try to bled, the shaft is suddenly lipping in along its full length(!) and past the microscopily worn section, and this action can be enough to kill an otherwise good, but high mileage master cylinder.

 

Good luck feller.

have you taken the rear calipers off and turned them so the nipple is upwards?

 

and have you jacked up the trailing arm to make sure the compensator on the axle is open?

 

dont forget to stick a block of wood or similar in between the pads.
