Default Problem with brakes on a S2!

Right,

The brakes were bled up before the engine was fitted as we removed the ABS and fitted new lines! It took some effort and loads of time but all seemed fine so then we fitted the engine.

Now it is all running there is no brake pedal, it is just going to the bottom as if all of the brake pressure has been lost!

The hose to the servo seems fine but has anybody got any other things to check or ideas what it could be?

Cheers

get the rear end on axle stands (under the arms) so the load valves think the car is on the deck. Its not that hard, I did mine when I changed my rear calipers at the weekend
