Where did the fluid come from? Until you identify where, fix it, an rebleed you ain't going anywhere.0

it came from the bottom of the brake. I can here the fluid going through but the pads dont move!0
-
i think it is where the fluid goes into the brake.0
-
Is the bleed nipple open? or maybe a seal has gone behind the pistons? You must identify it EXACTLY.0
-
shall i take a pic?0
-
You can, but it might not help!0
-
the pads are now very slightly moving which they werent doing about 5 mins ago0
-
It won't work until it is fixed and bled.0

take them to a bike shop for sorting."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Can't really see from that - I would take it to a shop for a keen eye to look at.0

You should have just taken it to a bike shop in the first place mate. As from what ive just seen in one of your pics it looks like youve taken the caliper apart to get the pads out?
Just leave it alone and take it to the pro's

ok yeh bit of a noob tbh will take it to the pros ! do you think they just need bleeding as when i press on the lever there is no tension!?0
-
It has to be reassembled, fixed and bled.0
-
ok will have to take it to them and get em to fix it.0

£15 sounds like a bargain to me to get you back up and running.....0
