Brake failure
#9
Oh and does anyone know where I can get replacement braided rubber pipe as I've split all mine to check them lol

Chances are it is a vacuum hose that has gone rather than that pipe Smile

Cheers dude Smile

The problem I'm having is that it's intermittent. I can drive it for an hour or two and then suddenly the brake pedal won't press down, then it might come back on again. The other day I drove it for about 15 mins before the brake pedal refused to budge then I had to limp it home using the gears to brake. Right before I got home however, the brake pedal started pressing down again like nothing was wrong... I'm starting to think it's the servo...


I also don't know if it's worth mentioning but when I drive the car it keeps losing power as if I'm putting the brakes ON whilst I'm accelerating. The only thing I can liken it to is; when you're low on fuel and your car is almost coughing with lack of fuel. Sort of slowing right down. Judders when I'm in lower gears.
