Did you say you changed the brake master cylinder??? I think you still have air in your system but unable to remove air through normal procedure from when you do a simple brake fluid flush. I know that when fitting new master cylinder's that you have to bench bleed them before installing but you still can remove the air when the MC is fitted.....
I would try bleed it this way
- Place rag under master cylinder and the brake lines at master cylinder.
- open one brake line at a time at the master cylinder
- get a mate to sit in car and press brake pedal slowly
- you should see brake fluid flowing out of the brake line connection to master cylinder and quickly turn it off
You might see or hear it have air in it but once there is fluid coming close the connection off and then top up brake fluid in the master cylinder.
(hopefully these instructions make sense, i'm a bit hungover lol)
You don't need to take off wheels just need to work in this area
