Urgent Brake Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tintin]

OK heres the tale, Changed the front pads and all the brake fluid, removed and cleaned out the reservoir,checked the condition of rear shoes and cylinders,This was on saturday!
Pedal felt nice and hard after bleeding.
On the way home pedal felt soft and brakes felt a little spongy.
I put it down to the new pads bedding in.
On sunday took it for a spin, still soft so i pumped it a couple of times(only doing about 20mph ) The brake warning light flashed on, but the brakes bit ok.
My mate took it to re-bleed it today (at his mates garage) they re-bled averything including the load sensor / balancing valve.
Brakes still the same, so they are of the opinion the master cylinder is on it's way out!

Anyone got experience, advice, as the plains is on sunday and i've been advised not to drive it!....... Only got dark evenings or saturday to fix it!!!!!!!
