No,

 

You don't say if your car is a DE or an HR.

 

Pivot ball failure will not generate an air lock.

 

If you are following the correct bleed system then the air in the hydraulic system should dissipate.

 

Not following the correct bleed procedure is the usual culprit, however the correct pedal adjustment is also important.

 

Perhaps you have fitted the wrong slave cyl. or you may have a faulty master cyl.

 

However, my money is on the bleed procedure, which can sometimes be a bit tricky and be a real ball ache.

Do you have a suggestion on best way to bleed?  It's DE by the way

Thanks so much, that's what I suspected

Would pivot ball failure explain air in the line? I've replaced slave, can't find a leak anywhere and have bled the system a hundred times (still getting air) in completely at a loss.
