So the effect then is it should stall? Need to find myself some slippery grass or wait to the snow comes.

Isn't there a secondary block to allow for the suspension travel when it goes to 'wade'?

True, but not hard to get them crossed if replacing. With ABS/TC the right line has to go to the right wheel or the sensor that detects a locked or spinning wheel will release/apply the brake on the wrong wheel. All 4 brake lines operate independantly with ABS and either the 2 rear or all 4 operate independantly with TC.

The most sensible thought in this whole issue. I just wish the garage had done that. A bit of tape at each end would have sorted this at source.

Perfect, I'd get the torch out now and check but I think I can wait until tomorrow. Thanks, I'll update once checked.

Disconnected pipe 22 at the master with the rear end off the ground, slackened bleed nipple on rear right, assistant pressed brake and nothing at caliper end. Plenty fluid on the cloth under the bonnet though. Connected all back up again, fitted my new calipers all round and bled the whole system. A bit more peace of mind now. Turns out they had been connected correct way round but I had to check. The brakes are no longer pulling too. Thanks to all who made suggestions esp Dave4x4 who came up with the pipe ID numbering. Which one is which for the front, do you know? (just as a matter of interest)
