   Evening all got a 1.1 Saxo hasn't been run for a while gave it a run today and the brake pedal just went to the floor. Checked fluid and there was none so topped up and bled the system. The pedal is firm when you keep pumping but I you leave it for a few seconds it just pushes right to the floor and you get a bit of braking at the end of the stroke any ideas ?

   Rebleed and check for air, Check your master cylinder seals too and that the flexi lines arent bulging.

   Rear slave cylinder's could have split/failed my furio did the same, check for brake fluid around and under the drums.
