WTF has happened to my brakes !
Just put front pads and disks on my mk1 frs. Opened the resivoir cap and when I retracted the pistons in the calipers I also opened the both bleed nipples (brembo 4 pot callipers) and pushed them back nice and easy. Boxed them all back up went to pump the pedal up and I have no pedal at all! It won't go hard for me to bleed them! Did them this exact way when I got the car 2 years ago and no problem.
Any ideas ???

you bleed from the furtherest point and work your way in,
and only open 1 nipple each time
are you doing it yourself?
if your pumping the pedal who is opening and closing the nipple?

PassionFord Post Whore!!
FUCK...
WHY OPEN THE BLEED NIPPLES?
To change pads - thats just not required on voyage.
That aint even a school boy error - please do your self a favour and get someone who knows what they're doing to check what you've done.
No offence like but messing with a turbo could kill the engine, messing with the brakes could kill you or someone else if you get it wrong.

U learn by fuck ups ffs !! No ones perfect ! They are spot on now, better than before after a good bleed.
Put the old disks back on as something obviousley wasn't right with the other pair. The old ones are still ok anyway, have to see if they can find the correct pair
