I have a vectra 1.8LS (2001 model on X plate).

I've just put new dics and pads all round and since doing so my breakes feel spongy. I've tried bleeding them but if anythingthey got slightly worse. Any ideas on how this is or the right way to bleed the brakes?

Its best to allow new pads to bed in and match the profile of the new disc, but if you want to check for air in the system, get a helper to press and hold the brake pedal, you open the nipple and fluid will come out. The helper holds the pedal to the floor, you close the nipple. Pedal to the top, pressure on, open the bleed nipple and so on.

As the brake lines have remained full of fluid, do them any way you like.
Officially I believe you do the furthest wheel from the master cylinder first, but it doesn't make any real difference.
