Unless you are 4ft high or a contortionist, I'd pull the drivers seat out first...

Adjust the brakes, read the manual if you have one. If the pedal doesn't then come up, try bleeding. |

Check that the clevis pin has not fallen out, it connects the brake pedal to the master cylinder. I had a Clubman that was missing the pin and mo matter what you did to the brakes (bleeding, adjustment) the brakes would only work on the very last bit of pedal travel. |

Check each wheel cylinder to see if they aren't leaky. If you pump it up, does the pedal come up? Try bleeding them. Could be the master cylinder. |

start simple, do the easiest things first - check the fluid, adjust each wheel, bleed them, then start checking the wheel cylinders etc,. |

make sure u put the clevis pins on nice and tight coz it is such a pain in the arse to reach under there and put them in every time they fall out!!!
