brake bleeding issue
 
Got a 1995 xj6 that been sitting for a while. removed master and brake/abs module cleaned both, bench bled master seems to be working properly and I have fluid through RF bleeder but nothing at LF or rear bleeders so I checked brake valve block and have no fluid at LF or rear output. Anyone else run into this problem?

Yes but not on the Jag I have. It was my wifes old car I had just replaced ABS module and two rear brake lines know matter what we tried we could not get the fluid to reach the rear brake in the end we jacked the car up all corners and put it on jack stands opened all the bleeders and let gravity do it's thing. After 24 hours we finaly got fluid dripping out the rear bleeders.

If you try this just make sure your master cylinder don't run dry..

tried the gravity method but only for about 8 hrs so headed out to open bleeders again and give it a day or so. Will let you know how it goes thanks

bleeding of brakes
 
I had a similar problem on my 93 xj6. As per the instructions in the haynes manual,start with the right rear first,depress brake pedal to the floorn-open bleeder-then turn the ignition on so that the electric pump can push the fluid out(do not let electric motor run for more than 2 minutes. Then do the same to the left rear. The fronts are bled like any other car. Do not start the car while bleeding. The right front took forever to bleed but finally did. After the bleeding the abs and brake warning lights were on.but after backing out of the stall they went out and all is fine now,with a good firm pedal.

Thanks for your help guys but at this point nothing. Tried gravity for 24 hrs then tried pump for two min on off for 2 + hrs still nothing at bleeders or at output. Pulling pump/module once more to check for some sort of blockage
