I've had a bit of trouble with the Corsa's brakes or the last couple of weeks. It started when a rear cylinder went and all the fluid leaked out, due to lack of funds I fitted a known good one from a drum I had in the garage - only problem being the bleed nipple had been sheared. I've bled my brakes many times before successfully using the pipes so I decided that wouldn't be a problem.
I've gone to bleed the brakes and couldn't build a pedal up at all with the system full of fluid, the only tension in pedal was from the spring. I wasn't getting as much air as I thought I should have when bleeding the rears and the front had no air at all. Master cylinder was suspected so I fitted a new one only to have the exact same problem - no pedal after seemingly filling the system with fluid and bleeding the brakes until I was getting pure fluid.
It's left me and my dad totally stumped, was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like it before?

I'm not dead sure mate, hopefully someone could confirm or deny?

Nope you cant. I'd perhaps try something ive had luck with in the past, Push the pedal down overnight (using a bit of wood pushed against the seat)
