Off to the dealer again tomorrow.
The bent rotor is my fault I changed the tire.
I'm pretty sure this is a lesson i only need to learn once.

I have found that elevating the caliper well above the MC allows all the air to be pushed to the bleeder.. When I compress the brake lever I put a bungee around it to keep it against the grip and then pop the bleeder that's on the caliper sitting on the shelf above the master cylinder. Then close the bleeder and then release the lever and repeat till I get a firm lever... Just make sure you put at least a quarter inch flat steel bar in between the pads...

I believe I've found the problem.
The bent rotor/disc crowd wins.
I've got a badly bent disc, hope to get a new one tomorrow and I think that should fix the problem.
Thanks to everyone for the advice, that's what i like most about this forum, all the helpful people.
Thanks again.
