:welcome: to LZ........ try postin ya problem on the Disco section.. the guys will see it quicker there

don't drive it...

what do you mean hitting the floor are you talking about the pedal? is the low fluid warning light on?

no ther r no warning lights on and the pedal goes 2 the floor when egines started

hi every 1

try bleeding em first, obviously you will need to check the seals for damage/wear/leakage!

a thorough brake check is one of the first things i do to a car, usually replace the brake lines as a matter of course aswell!

pads are also a deffo replace as they could be worn or brittle with age! for the sake of a few quid its a worthwhile task!!

What Gav says is right, but a small helper might be to press the brake pedal all the way down, and use a nylon tiewrap or spmething to keep it down overnight, the day before they're being bled. This should allow air to percolate back up the lines.

thanx guys

:welcome2: to the asylum

It's not a huge job to overhaul the whole thing! Seals, pistons, pads, pipes.... do a search if you don't know what you're doing, and FFS don't drive it til your stoppability is as good as it can get!!!
