Red face Just changed the brakes - now spongy

I know I should know better after yrs and yrs of owning the same car...

Fitted new calipers, pads and discs....bled the system and put 1 litre of RBF600 through.

On the last caliper I kept the brake pedal down while I closed the bleed nipple (res cap off). Could this have put air back in the system?

Cheers,

Bob

Just realised that the AP calipers have two bleed nipples per caliper...

what a plonker

Need some more fluid now...
