Furthest away from the master cylinder, and work towards it. Get someone to help you, it's easier.
Make sure you always keep the reservoir topped up!

Rears were a pain in the ***, I think I used every swear word in the dictionary
To top it all off the brakes are even worse than before I started, There is no bite in the pedal at all now, Think I will give pete a ring at Prosport tomorrow and let him deal with it.....
At least I tried

When you say bite, what do you mean? Have you driven it?
I'm not trying to belittle you, some people genuinely don't know, but,
You do know you have to bed brake pads in don't you? Also, you did clean the oil off the discs?
Or is it the pedal just feels spongy? That would lead to air in the system, did you make sure the reservoir didn't run dry?

Yeah I took the car out today on a side road, drove 10 feet and tried to brake but the pedal goes half way down before any resistance and then if I press a tiny bit more it just goes to the floor....Had to use the hand brake!!
I did everything by the book mate, Im at a total loss.....??
Ian told me too drive the car for 300 miles normal driving, then drive 70mph and brake down to 20mph but keep moving.....do this a couple of times and they will bed in, but I just dont feel comfortable driving it now

you have air in the system from that info and would be extremely dangerous to attempt to drive.........
"virgin" brakes may give poor feel but wouldn't give a pedal that sinks to the floor!!
