My DT failed it MOT in Mid Aug, part of the fail sheet was replacing the front brakes. I replaced the front discs and pads probs about six weeks ago, since then its sat on the driveway (been real busy).
Started it up today (first turn of the key) and pressed the peddle, it felt pretty spongy so I gave it a few more pumps and each time it got worse.
Now the peddle feels very spongy and can reach the floor, the peddle does return.
So what have I ****ed up?
Is it possible the pads have just rusted to the discs and stayed there while the caliper flails about? or is it likely something else?
