Sounds like there may be some air causing your problem, I suspect you have throughly bled the line to the new cylinder so it may be worth bleeding the opposite front just to make sure. While you are at it push the piston back into the caliper 1/2 an inch and check the caliper moves freely from side to side, ie, floats.
The faults are a real pig to sort without a rolling road thingy, good luck!
