Have you had someone pump the pedal whilst you watch the master cylinder for 'splashing' or fluid drop?
and as asked before, have they EVER been any good?

Yes have had a friend help bleed and have used bleeding tool with no luck but as you said cylinder splashing that does happen every time pedal is pumpd .
Brakes was never good before I started only reason I decided to renew was due to black type fluid my guess was some1 used dot 4 when it's suppose to be dot3

you have fitted pipes to m/c correct, and the other m/c and servo made no difference

Black fluid is usually the seals in the M/C starting to break down ...
if you are not losing fluid from the M/C, I'd say that it was starting to fail and the fluid is going past the seals ...
What brand is it ? An OEM brand (Lucas Girling) or some unbranded cheap thing in a plain or blue and white box ?
it could be a flexi hose swelling under pressure. get someone to hold the brakes on and inspect them all. it could also be a pad seized in place, so make sure they are all free...
Has the correct bleeding sequence been followed? two person bleed can be better, even with a pressure bleeder ...

Have not brought a new m/c as I have 3 around me 1 is my mates that was working fine prior to removal and same with the other 2 .i have changed front flex pipes for braid 2"+ . Have bleed in correct order from rear left to rear right to front left to front right pumping pedal 6times before holding down to crack nipple for it to squirt like a water gun. Also used brake bleeding tool and same with that ' I'm am going to remove front callipers and test them fingers crossed . If it's not that I hope some1 local to me could have a look with me I have never had a problem with brakes
