car- 206 1.1-non plex- y reg- no abs
had to change the caliper on my car, all the brake fluid drained out in the process, after changing i filled the car back up with fluid, bleeded all the brakes but when i press the brake pedal with the car running it hit the floor? with the car off they get a liittle hard but soon as i start the car it goes soft very soft again?
i bled it with a mate pressing the pedal

How did you bleed them?
What order did you bleed them?
Did you make sure the fluid never got low in the reservoir?
Sounds like trapped air

The ezibleed kit will force it out the bleed nips. You fill a resiviour with brake fluid and with a small amount of pressure from the spare tyre it will force fluid through the lines. Opening each bleed screw (4 of them) will allow air out.

Which seal? Easy to replace? After bleeding the pedal is as it should be, but soon as start the engine the pedal hits the floor nearly. The brakes work just have to push my foot all the way down
