If what Sirfixalot suggested doesn’t work, you may have to bench bleed your Master Cylinder.

The Pic below might help

You'd be unlucky for the master cyl to need bleeding but is a possibilty.  Word on the street is bleed furtherest point from the master cyl first and work in (personally I don't think it matters).

Check the line to the caliper is tight and be prepared to use gravity........takes a lot longer bt sometimes necessary with C3's.  On my old one I had to leave it bleed overnight!

Frustrating I know!

bleed brakes from furthest wheel first. sounds like if youve let the system run dry without pinching the hoses the master cylinder has air trapped in it and will need to be bled before you bleed the wheels
