I took my calipers apart the other day to paint them, just took the clips off and the retaining spring. Put them all back together and now there is now presure at all, I've been for a quick drive and the pedal goes straight to the floor and then when they do bite the car swerves when it brakes. If i pump the pedal the pressure comes back but goes in about 10 seconds.

Anyone got any Ideas? probably something really simple.

When I changed the pads a few weeks ago I did the same thing and it was fine, just pumped the brake pedal a couple of times and it went back to normal.
