It's normal for the pedal to feel a little "odd" when the brakes are still bedding in. At this stage I'd go with the "drive it carefully for a few days" advice as long as you feel it's safe to drive.

Hi guys
           Would it be a good idea to have the car running as to operate the abs pump when bleeding the brakes  :-?

I agree that it would be a very good idea to change the fuid, it should be changed every 2 years as part of the service schedule.

If you are on your own it is really worth investing in a Gunsons Easibleed kit, I have been using one for several years now and it is excellent, flushes all the old muck out in no time!
