   It's one thing after another with this feckin car!!!
   
   Just had to get the rear axle replaced, and in doing that had to bleed the brake system. When it was all put back together 3 liters of brake fluid went in but still the brake pedal's hitting the floor. There is no sign of leakage except for some bubbled paint on the servo (but this looks old, not recent).
   
   Any idea what this could be? It shouldn't be taking 3 litres of fluid!?
   
   Gonna take it into a garage asap, but would be good to have an idea of what's wrong. Cheers
