There are three nipples on the modulator. Read Rave for the correct procedure.

Did you follow the correct ignition on / off stages? You haven't left hose clamps in place have you?

Sorry to ask but did you bleed the three nipples on the modulator in the correct order? This vehicle must be bled as per Rave.
Yes it’s been repitadly blead in the exact order followed to the letter by me at least 15 times and my my mate about 5 times the last 17 times o air bubbles have been found

if pedal firms after second push it might be piston retracting on the new calipers easy enough to rule in or out by watching them whilst someone presses brake pedal
Hoping to get mate round tomorrow will get him to look at that but it’s the same every time pedal pressed realy had enough of it now realy need this week have tryed ignition off and pumping 30 times to depressurise and can almost push pedal to the floor when ignition on its firm but still loads of travel stops fine but the abs pump runs every time shore there is somthing and lights flash up I feel shore it’s not the abs pump checked all connections to modulator and calipers no leaks in sight shore I’m missing somthing simple just can’t find it could do with someone local that knows them to pop over and have a look and see what they think
Yes starting to think that it’s the acumilator not shore how long the abs pump I have fitted was sat off car for going to put my acumilator off old abs pump on tomorrow and see if that helps
