i just fitted some calibra turbo front brakes to my car . its a 1.2 16valve corsa b on a v reg ... basically got em all fitted and bolted up and have bleed them god knows how many times and still dont have a pedal . i think i may have an air lock in the master cylinder and think i might have to bleed the rears as well .. has any one else had this problem when fitting brakes ??? some advice would be very apreciated

For all it takes,as said,try bleeding the rears aswell.
You got enough fluid in the tank??You really do need to keep it topped up full when bleeding the brakes.

You got the calipers on the right sides, bleed nipple needs to be at the top.

It's not ideal with the Nipples at the base, but is do-able
I fitted my Calipers in revers by accident on my old Cavalier - still managed to bleed the system and never had to swap them over.
