Default help needed. no brakes!!

As titled. I have no brakes. I've bled the whole system. New fluid topped up. No leakeage. The pedal when pressed is as it should be when the car is off but when the car is on there's nothing there and the pedal goes down to the floor. Banny said it could be that i haven't connected the servo line to the inlet manifold or the one way valve? Now i need a pictures or diagrams to show me where these are located as i have no idea where to look. Thanks

Get pics of the engine and brakes up, make things easier for everyone to locate the issues. As most likely you will have more than one by the sounds of it

Cheers banny. The pipes seem to be connected. I think it could be that one way valve thats supposed to be in the pipe, been told to feel a bulge in the pipe bt i cant feel it so that may be the issue?

Yes the rear calipers are on upside down so swap them side to side , the AP calipers have bleed nipples on the inside and outside , you need to bleed them both
Cheers Ian
