Hi, I am restoring a S3 and yeasterday i tried bleading my brakes, it was fine for a while but then the oil stream was just full of air. I must have pumped through a whole bottle of oil on 1 brake and there was still air in the system. Are the seals in my master cylinder knackered or is it a problem with the servo. (electrics not working yet, is that a problem when bleading)

It's a Landy
Try getting a "EZ Bleed" pressure bleeding kit and expect to use a least two Liters of fluid.
Bleeding the brakes on a landy can be a black art but my advice is do it by the book.

The trick seesm to be bleed all 4 brake pipes and cylinders at the same time.

either that or lift the back end as high as you can, wedge the pedal down, hard, with a bar or something. then leave it over night before bleeding it. then repeat with front.
