Having replaced front calipers/pads and bled system, have encountered a problem:

Pedal travel is now much greater than before (fairly stiff with engine off, drops when engine running as normal but travels too much before brakes bind). Only tested at low speeds and car does come to a stop, but worried that I might have bigger problems on the open road. Plus warning light came on once, but only once.

And if anyone is going to suggest master cylinder, I would be at least a week away from getting the part, so can they be dismantled and overhauled without the need for seals/other parts etc (bit of a long shot I know).

BTW, tried Lucid's trick of blocking the brake pedal to prevent fluid loss, it works a treat!!

Thanks
