Hi Generation, was the brakes ok before you put new disc's and pads on the front, and shoes and cylinders
on the back !?!?, it's about starting from the beginning with a process of elimination mate, could be
a number of thing's now you've done everything!.

Hi mate.
No, none of this was don't until pedal started feeling bad.
So started replacing bits, and it's just not getting any better at all.

How can this DEFINATLY be my problem, when I've said over Andover again, the calipers are correct?
Please stop posting your issues in here, as its making answers confusing to read, and hard for people to know what's been donewithout reading whole thing again

Master cylinder - fine
Servo - fine
Brake callipers - fine
Brake drums - fine
Load valve - is it the pipe kind or spring one onto the axle?
Brake pipes incl flexi - fine
Splitter box in engine bay under expansion bottle - fine?
When you changed the master cylinder did you change the whole unit ie the pedal also? Nothing blocking or odd looking about it inside the car?

Changed whole unit second time around, to avoid disturbing anything.
Only checked on flexi so far
I don't know what the load valve is mate
I will check splitter box

The load valve is either a moving part attached to the rear wheel well with a spring attached or 2 small long hexagonal things breaking the pipe at the rear of the car

Ahh, the rear load thing, that controls brakes with weight distribution?
If so it's a spring on the rear axle mate

Generation, What year and CC is the car in question mate !?!? late model's had small compensator's inline,
one on passenger side and one going across behind wheel well, early cars had the big spring valve, driver's side
hanging of the wheel well on to axle.
csifku! I'm glad you've got your's sorted, but if you read before you comment! his calipers are on right
and he's had new cylinders at the back! so they won't be leaking inside

Had car up today with piece if wood forcing pedal down..
Couldn't see any leaks after having a good look, no ballooning of the front flexi hoses.
However, I can turn rear passenger wheel by hand (tight but I can do
It) drivers rear one I can't.
Front two I can't either.

sorry didn't get back Yesterday Generation, x1.4xe sport should have the compensator valve
on the wheel well, with spring to the axle,Sounds like all your spare fluid is going to Passenger
side back! think the best bet mate, would be to take both back hub's off, familiarize yourself
with the mechanism, and adjust to suit, I adjusted mine, so I could just get the hub's back on,
Then a flat bladed screw driver through the hole until it just catches when you spin the wheel.
this reduces all the movement making a harder pedal
