[Peugeot-L] No brakes 505 TD wagon

Hi all, finally got everything back together on the wagon, but still have almost zero braking! pedal goes almost to the floor. When I bled all four wheels there was ample fluid coming from each bleed nipple, but upon finishing there is just no pressure building up in the system. I checked the vacuum supplied by the inlet manifold, it seems to be sucking ok. What should I be checking to see if I can find out why I have no brakes??
I'm wondering perhaps if the master cylinder has enough pressure to pump fluid for a bleed but is no good for actual braking?? or perhaps the servo assist is buggered??
Also if I have the engine running and I push the brake pedal right down and keep it down after about 5 seconds I can feel it start to very slowly sink even further towards the floor. There is no difference in how the pedal feels with having the engine running or not, it feels the same either way.

Please help me get this old diesel back out on the road!!

cheers

Richard
