The two man method is the most reliable way to bleed brakes in my experience, and one Saturday afternoon I persuaded Julia to pump away at the brake pedal while I fiddled with the bleed valves. This cured the problem and all I then suffered was Julia complaining about her aching leg for an hour or so 😂
The last time the brakes were bled the car was in at the factory for its pedal box replacement - so I guess anything is possible!

I'd advocate bleeding them and replacing with a higher spec brake fluid for sure. I had the dead space and also got REALLY bad brake fade on the track before bleeding and replacing my brake fluid, it made a world of a difference.
