Well see i adjusted them as per normal but not done any mega mileage in it so i have no idea why that would be a problem now, worth a readjustment i guess

Try locking them all against the drums, pedal should be rock hard if no air. Then slacken and adjust.

Will try that should i do that for all 4 wheels? What do i do if it isnt and believe me i have almost tried every method of bleeding the brakes

All four wheels at once. I use a vacuum extractor on the nipple, saves a lot of pumping on the pedal. And some say it is good to jack up the front of the vehicle. get the master cylinder more level. I have never had to do this, though.

Forgot, it is normal for the pedal to go down when the servo comes on, shows the servo is working.

So turned out i think the pedal had a small amount of play in it that i thought wasnt normal due to my other series being rather responsive on the pedal not only this i used a gunsons eezibleed which brought the pedal up hard. After replacing every single part of the breaking system bar the servo itself, quite frustrating

With servo brakes on a Landie first thing to check is the free play at the master cylinder push rod. You need around 1/6" 1.5mm in new money.

I had the very same problem which I reported on this site, in the end I renewed the master cylinder,old one seemed fine, but it worked!! My brake pedal is as hard as a porn star on Viagra!!
