Urgent Brake Problem
When you did the replacement did you push the "puck" back into the caliper to get room to get the new pads in? Sounds like you may just need to pump the brakes several times to get the new pads in position right at the rotors.
Try it and let us know.
I will check back in a bit.

Urgent Brake Problem
Is the pedal "spongy" like there is still air in the lines, or is there no assist at all?
Remember on the diesel's hydro-boost brake system, the pressure to operate the brakes comes from the power steering pump, so check the level in the P/S reservoir as well.
