Is there a knack to this? I just tried the way I used to do the old frog with the tiny Cooper S cylinder-pot thing, but on this car with the big 90's servo it seemed to do nothing at all.

My method:
Stick Eazibleed on to the reservior, handbrake off, car off, start at the back pass side, then back drivers side, then front pass side, and then drivers front.

No bubbles came out at the end, but the pedal is soft as shite, and hits the floor. I can pump it to make it hard, but then a slow push afterwards and it's on the floor again.

Any tips, or what have I done wrong?

I've always started closest to the master cylinder and worked away from it.

Your original way is the recommended way, but try to get someone to pump the pedal while the bleed valve is open and the pressure bleeder is on - it might shift a pocket of air.

You do have the servo mounted with the outlet uppermost ?.

It turned out to be my calipers - they were on the wrong sides. Doh!
