I've tried to bleed the brakes myself using the bleeding kit (tube&catch bottle), but still I get a VERY spongy brake pedal.

I think the problem is that when I bled the brakes the first time the master cylinder ran out of fluid before I got the chance to fill it up again. So, I'm assuming that there's a lot of air bubbles caught in the system. But, when I bleed from the Rear Right brake I don't get any air bubbles. Should I move onto the next brake (Rear Left), then continue to the Front Right and Left??

What do I do? I've already been through 3 bottles of brake fluid. My friend will come over tonight to help me bleed the system, any suggestions??

Your help appreciated.
