The pedal does move thats the problem. Theres no pressure. It goes straight to the floor with the blip my mate mentioned. I have no idea if he imagined it or not but slight pressure halfwayish then none suggests flipping seals to me. Be aware I was an IT professional not and engineering professional so my rationality is NOT based on experience only on educated guesswork. But several bleeds and no pressure still suggests air to me the 3 mechanics laughing at us are the ones saying master and seal flip. As we have no access to a T4 I have no way of knowing and even if MarinaBrian was willing thats a 65 mile drive with no brakes. I think I have TOAF somewhere does it have the ABS purge brakes thingy?

If that is the case, I would be looking at the pedal, and master cylinder. I know you mentioned previously, but it is quite unusual for a cylinder to fail in this way - not impossible obviously, even more unusual for a solid pedal (which is why you are getting all the questions lol).
