Thanks anyway for all your help!I've managed to resolve the problem as it seems the small plastic bleeding cap had fallen out of the resivoir on the lever and was allowing the fluid to drain out.the lbs said it seems to be a common problem as it does'nt screw in so can just be knocked out or vibrate loose.any way they said they'd replace the part and bleed the brakes for œ10 problem solved [:D]
