Default HELP!

Iv been having to push down a lot further on my brake pedal lately and my rear pads were pretty low so i have changed them tonight but after pumping the brakes i leave it for a few seconds and it just goes near enough to the floor again. I pump again and fine then wait and back to the floor. Now the fluid is on the minimum and i did lose a bit when fitting the pads so if i fill that up will it be ok or do i need to bleed the brakes? also if i do how do i do this?

Thanks

sounds like you have air in the system a quick bleed should sort it out.

it is a simple job which you could tackle yourself i would imagine a garage wouldnt charge much as it would only take 15 mins
