Changed my discs and pads today and looks like despite previously doing it without any problems air has got into the system as I now have no brake pedal. I know you cannot manually bleed this without PP, has anyone recently payed to have this done? Called my local dealer but alas they are closed.

Any auto electrician should have PP. How have you got air into the system from just doing a disc and pad change?
You didn't wind the piston back in without opening the bleed nipple did you?

Mate seriously?! You dont need pp, just pump the brake pedal 10 to 20 times with the nipple open and a hose in a bottle of brake fluid.
Have you checked to see if the line is twisted? Have you even pumped the pedal? Did you remove the fluid cap? P+Ds never require bleeding

Thanks for your replies guys. The brakes on the car had been neglected by the previous owner. I think this was because the peugeot locking nuts had een rounded off and I had to get a mate whos handy with a mig welder to get them off. When I changed the front pads the rear discs/pads were ok. When I took the back wheels off to remove the pads/discs the calipers were stuck tight on and couldnt prise them off so i opened the bleed nipple off to releave some pressure. I can only assume its sucked air in. Pumping the pedal doesnt seem to do anything whilst the cars running, obviously it stiffens if you pump with the ignition off.
