Eezibleed works a treat. Just bled fluid and now have pressure on pedal. Pedal does seem to travel about an inch though before any pressure is felt. Could there still be an air lock in the system or is this an ajustment on the push rod?
 
Adjustment of push rod alters the height of the pedal from the floor 140mm From memory but check that, an so only alters the travel of the piston in the master cylinder. I reckon you've still got air in it.
 
Might try jacking the front up tomorrow so the bleed nipple is higher than the rest of the cylinder
 
That helped with mine leaving the nipple slightly undone with a tube on it an letting the fluid find its own way in keeping the master cylinder topped up. But pushing the slave piston in with my finger was the quickest way.
 
If a slave cylinder is failry easy to take off, it is often easiest to bleed it OFF the block.
You can position it with the cylinder hanging below the inlet pipe and the bleed nipple, with the bleed nipple uppermost and OPEN. The fluid runs by gravity fully into the cylinder, fills it up from the "bottom" very slowly, and the air escapes through the bleed nipple.

All done. Bled the slave off the block with an eezibleed and adjusted the pedal to correct height. Mobile again! :D

Cheers for the advice fellas!
