Bleed off of the pipes, can be a chew on and take AGES to get them bled up or just buy new cylinders for £10 each.

yeah topped it up, light goes off when you go to high revs, is it the servo unit? blown a seal or somethin?

When you bled them, how hard were you pumping the pedal? sounds like you've went mental on it and knacked the seals.

on and, you do have the bleed nipples on your 2.0 calipers at the top dont you?
