For the past few weeks, my front brakes have been on there way out, i took the plunge today to change them, and i caught them on time, as there was less than 5mm of pad left on them. I took old ones out, and so i could get new ones in i undid the bleed nipple so i could push the piston in so i could get it over new pads, i replaced both front brakes.
But now when i went for test drive when i push brake pedal in peddle travels all most to the floor, and car does eventually stop.
I bleed them with help from my mum, but they are still the same.
Then a mate came and had a look, he started the engine, pumped peddle a few times, and on the last time before he depressed pedal, i undone bleed nipple loads of air came out, but peddle still goes to thre floor, ANY ADVICE GREATFULLY RECEIVED.
 
You need to bleed them properly. The order is in my guide to renewing the master cylinder (do a search here for fingers99 and master cylinder) and you'll find a shedload of guides to brake bleeding generally on google.
please can u give me link to this guide as i can not find it, thanks
