still no luck, tired both of the suggestions.

I'm 99% sure there's no air in the shock before I put the top cap on, then push shaft in slowly and then put the small bleed screw in.

Pop the spring on and pump the shock a bit, open the the top cap and there's loads of tiny bubbles there

Driving me mad, I guess there is getting in from the bottom but there brand new O rings which look ok. I also have the spacer in between the O rings.

Where is this air coming from ?

alexb4, your method worked well for getting the air out, do you use a shock pump after you top them up ?

Are the shocks supposed to have some air in ?, as there's no bladders.
