Car sat for 2 years, brake pedal goes to floor - WHY?

[midge]

Right, i recently got given a civic that has been sat for 2 years, i towed to my house and left it there, today i started it (it started straight away with some jump leads!)

however, the brake pedal will go to the floor, the brakes work but the pedal is poor, i have checked the tank and its full of fluid so i assume there is no leak, whats next?

My friend says seized callipers could cause this?

I dont want to spend much time on the car so hoping for something simple!

my volvo s60 did that, just bled the system and it was sorted

Change the fluid, bleed it out, should do the job

Thats what i thought tbh, noticed a very small amount of milky in the fluid. Guess ill battle the bleed nipples later in the week!
