ah No; your arrow is pointing to the line connector for the caliper, not the bleeder screw

just above your arrow it in the picture with the rubber cap on it(looks torn). if you bleed your system using the lines you will want to go back and bleed the calipers then.

Default Same problem

On the second pedal pump the brakes come up much closer to normal , but then the cycle repeats next time the pedal,is pushed (after some additional,driving). I bled the brakes from furthest to closest with no real change in the long pedal travel. With engine off, brakes pump up solid and stay there so master cylinder okay? With engine off, pumped up brakes and held them and started the engine, brake pedal moves close to the floor so booster okay? Checked the pads and all are still good thickness. What am I missing? Thanks.
My 2003 Discovery does the same thing....I have rolled through so many traffic lights.The brake pedal all the way to the floor and still rolling is terrifying as I am so worried that I will hurt someone(or worse).

@lisa76 stop driving your Disco spend 80.00 and get the brake system professionally bled and inspected. Then fix what needs to be fixed.
