As one Matt to another..........you need to get a person who understands 
brakes / bleeding to check this car out before driving....

Just "knowing the procedure" isn't good enough for something as IMPORTANT as 
your brakes.....like "life or death"for YOU and OTHERS!.

FYI:   when you bleed..you ARE letting ALL the air escape from the 
system......so..anything empty would FILL automatically.....

Don't feel bad....yesterday I worked with a fellow tech......drilling  
..........removing "Potting" from electrical conduit......

He knows the proceedure......but  3 times I had to tell him the drill was 
running backwards......really!.....and he USED to work in Nuke Plants!
