is the load compensator siezed?
are the rear wheel cylinders leaking (peal the boots back and have a look)
are any of the rubber hoses blebbed/blebbing under pressure.
Have you bled it up properly on all 4 wheels?
was it spongy before you changed the pads if not it could be the new pads havent bedded in yet.
Failing all that it could be master cylinder.

Hi again
The brakes were spongy b4 i changed the pads, there dosnt seam to be any leaks. Il check the hoses 4 blebbs etc later 2 day.
Where abouts is the load compressor situated ??
If its the master cylinder how hard is it to replace and how mutch to buy the pars needed?
Any help would be greatfull!!!!

load compensator is un der the back near the spare wheel well, just in front of, youll see 4 pipes coming frtom it.
Have you checked the rear brakes?
Master cylinder should be fairly straightforward on the corsa.
No idea how much a new one would be though

by the way you need to have ignition on when you bleed it.
and if its a mistral grey one then bleed it with the passenger side window open

yesz hence why i said.
The first thing you need to do is check them, are the cylinders leaking, are they adjusted correctly etc.
