What to do when your hard brake pedal is off?
Try pumping the pedal And bleed the master cylinder first by cracking the lines at the master cylinder while having a helper hold the pedal and do let the pedal up until the lines are closed. If you have a spongy pedal you still have air on the system so start at the master and then go to each wheel after that. Thanks for the idea.

Bled through my system with new fluid. No air got in as I had help and we kept a constant eye on the fluid levels. I bled a litre of fluid through it and initially the pedal felt fine. Since then It’s got softer when the engine is running and I can get the pedal to the floor.

How long does it take for the brake pedal to go half way?
By gravity-bleeding, if there did get some air in the lines, it will usually float up and into the reservoir if you push the brake pedal slowly, so it takes about fifteen seconds to go half way to the floor. Never go past half way to avoid damaging the master cylinder, unless it is less than about a year old.
