The brake pedal was spongy after this so I have undertaken a simple bleed of all calipers. Before start-up the brake pedal is firm but after it becomes softer again. It just seems softer than what I would expect were it just to be a bedding-in issue. Any ideas as to what have I broken or is it worth getting a pressure bleeder and doing the bleeding again using this method?
