hi, got corsa b, 97 model (r reg) 5 door, 1.2 engine.
the brakes were poor, so i change the pads and disc's.
bleeded all 4 wheels, with self bleeding kit.
the braking is still poor, if not worse!!
when engine off and pump the brakes, you can fell the pedel harden. then when you start the engine and drive, the pedel is poor. pedel almost to the floor, before you feel braking, which is poor to stop.
any help???

Don't drive the car until fixed. In the meantime, check the rear brake self-adjusters are working, and possibly bleed system again.

Without sounding rude-----leave it to a garage----if your brakes don't work you can kill someone. It sounds as though you are not 100% sure what your doing, get a towed to someone who does thanks:)

Did you push the caliper pistons back or when you bled the brakes allow the pedal to go all the way to the floor-if so I would suspect the master cylinder seals have reversed- you should always slacken the bleed nipple off when pushing the pistons back and pressure bleed the system on vauxhalls as this is quite a common thing to happen.

thanks for all reply's
i did push the pistons back. did'nt slacken the bleed nipple off.
i did think of the master cylinder seals reversed- but the brakes were soft before i changed the brakes. i'll try the seals tomorrow, but if that doesn't help, any other things that i should check??
