Yesterday I replaced the front and back brake pads,I removed the calipers to clean up and grease the slide pins, and to generally make sure the caliper seals etc were all ok...I completely drained the old brake fluid and bled the system.The pedal feel was nice and firm like it should be,I drove the car to bed the new pads in,and they bedded in perfectly...Then last night whilst driving into town,the brake fail dashligh came on, and the brake pedal was just about going to the floor when the pedal was pressed.I thought I must have left a bleeder screw a bit loose and she'd sucked in a bit of air,so I thought Id just check them and rebleed it this morning.Now this morning the brakes are back to normal again,they are exactly like they should be with new pads and a bled system.I checked the bleeder screws and brake hose connections, everything is sealed tight and not leaking at all.Ive never seen this happen before in all the years Ive been doing my own brake services.Has anyone ever had this happen, or heard of it happening, or maybe have an idea of what might have caused it.Ive since driven all over town this morning and they are working excellent again.
