I've just replaced brake discs and pads all round on the 180. It has made a great difference (the old ones were f****d) but they still feel a bit spongey. So I am guessing the brake fluid needs changing. I have heard that bleeding the brakes is a ball ache and you need PP to open a valve  Anyone know how much Peugeot charge (roughly) to bleed and replace brake fluid?

Too much! Might be better to try an independent auto electrician who has PP. They can bleed brakes.

Ouch that is expensive. Might be cheaper to crash into the back of someone then. Only £50 excess

They will feel odd for the first few days. Have you allowed time for the new pads to bed in properly by braking gently?

Did you clean the storage oil of the discs after fitting them on the hubs & before you fitted the pads?

Use PP to bleed it through the ABS? b******s to that, we only do that if we replace the unit to remove the first air bubbles
Otherwise just keep the level up and 12 pumps on each one working from furtherest away from cylinder to closest
Side note, brake line twisted by any chance?
