top up your brake fluid and bleed your caliper,

Hold your lever down and undo the bleed nipple this will push air out of the brake system, then tighen the bleed nipplee back up and release the lever to pull some more fluid into the brake system, then with the nipple tight pump the brakes a couple of times.

Repeat this untill you have pressure again, good luck mate. Smile Smile

Don't release the brake lever with the bleed nipple open because you will pull air into the caliper.
