g'day all well there is something wrong with ym brakes. your pedal sometimes goes straight to the ground then you have pedal after release and push your pedal down again the thing is when i do have pressure you can slowely feel the pressure going down like it has a leak somewhere.... my dad is going to help me bleed the brakes tomorrow to see if there is any air. is there anythin else that could be causing this???? they are new brakes all round. |

I would guess that there is a leak in your new brakes. Why would new brakes work straight away? They have never been tested. 
I have seen new wheel cylinders with flaws in castings. I have had re-conditioned calipers with leaking seals. New brake pipes with splits in the flared ends. New parts are not as reliable as old parts because they have not been tested or worn in.

When you say 'new brakes all round' do you mean new brake pads or new wheel cylinders or EVERYTHING: Master Cylinder Wheel Cylinder (if drums) Pads Hoses Lines etc.. |
