see above
+ I got the garage to re-bleed the system two more times. On the second a whole mass of air released from the OSR drum...how it remained stuck for so long is a mystery

Finally...! With the France trip deadline I was sweating a bit. We hear/read so many threads of folk having Landy brake issues it's been an interesting process. I think we all need a really good quality brake bleed assist pump. I'm going to invest when I get back from France...using the little Mityvac hand pump jobbie took an age and still didn't fully clear.
Any recommendations...

I have only ever used the wait and see method [ gravity ] starting at the furthest from master and so on, just open nipple and wait for fluid to run clear of air, Takes little time, a few mins at most and usually a lot less. When changing a master I pour a bit of fluid in the exit hole, this is to prevent piston from sticking in a dry cylinder on first stroke . Fit and fill reservoir then open [ remove ] outlet pipe. [ if duel do both ] to make sure fluid is getting through master. If not a couple of short pumps to start it off. When running refit pipe.

+1 @tottot, this is my normal type method, but this one was not playing ball. The TRW/Delphi cylinder failure was a surprise, same with feedback re' new calipers. Thursday's 700 mile drive should have the brakes nicely bed in, same with the engine. Will hit the 500 running in oil change just here, it does a very good steak & chips

It was a heart in the mouth job for us both sides, as you may have read on other threads.
But the paperwork went OK.
So in our place now working on the fecking rear brakes, oh, funny, didn't you mention something like that?
Have a safe journey mate!
And enjoy yourself with your son, (Hope I got that right.)
