ok All intact and clean from dirt. and i have double checked the other points you mentioned. so i am left with master cylinder issue. many thanks for your time

lol posted at the same time, got ya !! so its master cylinder not allowing the fluid to return after the brake pedal is released ?

Sorry Paul i dont follow you. Dust return seals ?

HI Jonathon yes all parts match up new and old,

so am i right in thinking, if i slightly undo side bleed nipples and the pistons return easy then i have a faulty master cylinder ?

If i take the spring/shims off the top of the pads, and calipers are in, yes they can move freely about 1mm gap each side of the pads. ( it still binds with old pads in too ) The piston was very hard to push back into caliper,

No the pads slid in easy into place. only fit tight when i put the 2 clips on top of the pads and push the split pins through that hold them into place. that makes the pads tight.
