Did you pre bleed the master cylinder before you installed it?

No. It didn't come with a bleed kit.

You have to put fluid in the master cylinder before you install it - you have a bubble. Remove it and put fluid in it at an angle before you install it. Use tape or the plastic plugs that came with it to keep the fluid in while you install it.

Or maybe you have a vaccum hose not hooked up.

Once you put the brake fluid in the mastercylinder, pt it in a vise and bump the master cylinder a few times to fet the air out of it, then install it.

Well I called Land Rover and they the ABS Modulator had air trapped in it and the only wayto get it out was with the pressure system they use. So I guess I'll take it to them on Monday.
Thanks for all the help Guys.
