(Home) Spongy brake pedal (Sp+)

I have a Toyota townace 2.0 TD two wheel drive 1990 model. I find I am losing brake pressure when applying brake's I have changed the master cylinder, one wheel cylinder. replaced brake shoes and brake pads. bled brake system several times, to no avail. I have also checked servo, which is ok. I would be gratful to hear from anyone who has a solution to this problem. - (#2706) Ted, 9 Apr 02

Probably stupid and obvious but is there any air getting back into the system - cylinders, connections, bleed nipples? I remember having a similar problem with my old SpaceCruiser after changing master cylinder. Presumably it's in similar position on the Townace. Trouble is I forget how I overcame it. I think it was persistant pumping of the pedal during bleeding, there are some long pipe runs.

FWIW
