So my brake pedal is solid and braking is very sketchy feels like I don't have any brake servo helping the braking. Anyone had a similar experience?

Have you/anyone else been in the engine bay recently? Probably disturbed something if it's gone like that suddenly.

You'll need to get used to man braking till you get it repaired but if it is just a lac of vac the system will be fine bar being very heavy.
