sorry to be a bother yet again lol

i've just finished converting my rear drums to discs and my brakes now dont seem to have much pressure for the first press but work after that and keeps repeating the same things, so before i go steaming in and start bleeding them im needing to know which way to do it i.e what wheel to start and finish at etc

on a stranger note the abs has never worked while i have had my scooby and now its working and coming on really easy at the moment, ive just put 2nd hand trailing arms, with abs sensors and hand brake cables, so might have just been a dodgy sensor (i think passenger side as i did that last)

any help appreciated and thanks in advance

my dad says usually he'd work from the furthest away from master cylinder first to closest last but he said he was unsure how it would work on mine as it looks like different setup lol will give that a try over the next few days bud as im exhausted now lol but thankyou so much for advice will start at the last brake fitted and it wouldnt hurt to chuck the new front pads in aswell instead of me being lazy lol

yeah ya need 2 people to bleed brakes do you know how to do it? ya need some one in the car
you open bleed nipple then tell the person in the car to slowly pump the brake pedle till the air is out then on the last pump tell them to hold the pedle down then you lock the nipple off and keep checking fluid is topped up and do this to all the brakes start off passenger rear drivers reaar passenger front then end at drivers front
