I have no brake pedal, there are no leaks and the lines have been bled.
Have a small pedal after pumping the pedal a few times.
A WT Suzuki Sierra.
What am I missing?
Any help appreciated

What vehicle? If it is a sierra then they are VERY hard to bleed - I ended up buying a vacuum bleeding pump.

Thanks Tony, that looks the goods, would definitely make an easier job out of it

Have had a couple of goes at it now and not much pedal until it has been pumped a few times.

What have you done to the brake system? (As in why did you need to bleed the lines?)
