its not air as that gives a spongy pedal , could be lack of servo assist.

pump yer pedal lots of times till it goes hard. then keep yer foot pushed on the pedal . now start yer injun. the pedal should move down a bit if the servo is workin

seems like you got no servo assist.. did you try starting the engine when you had yer foot on the pedal?

To check the servo (on any car) put your foot on the pedal and start it. The pedal should go down. If it doesn't, your servo is stuffed.

went to my local garage today and he confirms that servo or a valve is not working correctly going to check valve first then servo its self if valve is not at fault any ideas on cost thanks .
