I had the exact same trouble, it's here in an earlier thread started by Richard Barber. I got a double banjo with a bleed nipple from FWR in Kennington, and fitted it on the two pipes that go into the flow divider thing on the bottom yoke. When I bled them through I then cracked this open and bled a lot of air from this centre block, and had the brakes working in no time.
