When I start the car I find that the pedal can go straight to the floor but if I pump it a couple of times it is ok. However it will then loose pressure shortly after. When fitting the brakes I did not bleed them as the pistons were able to move back easily and the you tube links I watched did not show that this was required. I changed the rear pads and disks a couple of weeks ago and I did not experience this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
