Took caliper off and expelled brake fluid by compressing caliper back to fully open. Filled join to flexi pipe with fluid and then rejoined. Not ideal but the air contained within would be minimal and certainly wouldn't result in no pedal at all. Air always comes out of bleed nipples after a brake line burst, but we bled several times at each corner to expell the air. The point is after all of this the pedal still has no pressure. When bleeding used easi-bleed type bottle to with one way pipe to ensure no air back into system apart form the 1st corner where we had caliper off.

With regards the bleed nipple that you removed - how did you manage to bleed this circuit as if doing it by peddle presses you would have to replace the nipple at the bottom of each pedal stroke otherwise you are just going to suck air back in.
Also from what I read, one of the nipples is stuck- so was that circuit not bled?
