   hi everyone. I've recently changed my rear calipers, and discs and pads all round, however, now when i press my brake pedal, it has to be pushed alot further to stop the car. can anyone offer any insight into what this may be, or even better, a way to fix it? cheers.

   could be a case of needing to bleed them through again.

   Check the back of the inlet for were the pipe goes from brake reservoir to inlet! may come off or snapped!
