If the discs and pads are new, the pads will need to bed in, What make etc pads did you fit?

I presume the pedal dont pump up hard.

Bigger pistons in the calipers, Thus you need to move more fluid to get the same effect, You can adjust the pedal but dont do that until you have the brakes bedded in.

wasnt a crazy theory i made up then

i might look in to adjusting mine tbh

i think the issue is with a bit of air in rear lines due to us changing the fluid, his old fluid wasnt old and was pretty clean so it is difficult to tell if its the new fluid at the rears yet, rebleeding again next wed as i was cold and hungover

then i can think about doing some jobs on the list to mine
