2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Cairns Blue

This week's call for help - bleeding brakes!!!

So our is a 1989 Ninety, it has a simple front braking system, two calipers, one tee piece and a joint at the master cylinder, all quite simple and during our rebuild we have replaced all the lines and the master cylinder and it appears to be working well.

The back wheel braking system comprises of two drums leading to a tee piece on the axel, this then leads to a pressure valve just ahead of the bulkhead leading to the replaced master cylinder.

The front system bled well and appears air free.

The rear system seams to be sucking air into the system somewhere and how can that be? No joint is leaking fluid, but we can't successfully bleed the rear system and we have been trying all day,

The pedal is harder than it was but it ain't right, any advice please.

Many thanks.

1989 Ninety 200tdi - Love it - Second best car I have ever owned.
