So spent some time up the yard this evening; unfortunately welding and turbo clocking took priority.
Saturday will be bleed day numero dos

Sorted this now - for thread history, bled system from MC - nothing there at all - got another 500ml of dot 4 - bled each corner, same route i did before, starting farthest from MC, first caliper, bled out A LOT and voila, a lot of air followed.
Bled the following 3 and not great deal but fluid.
Drove and voila, I have kick ass brakes. Still feel very '205' like, but working and working a LOT better than before (which passed the mot with sufficient brake sufficiency)
