Brakes not good

[M14KCY]

Last night and again this morning after start up i was driving to the end of my street, i braked at the end and the car just didn't want to stop in any hurry at all.

After i got round the corner i broke again and same thing, near enough foot to the floor and very light braking then i could here a grinding as if my pads were worn but i done my pads all round 3/4 months ago so they were all fine when i looked

I haven't yet check my brake fluid, i'll check it when i get home but is there anything else it may be?

do i need new discs maybe?

Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Cheers

have you checked your fluid levels? could be a corroded brake pipe losing fluid or maybe a problem with the servo.

I'll check the fluid levels when i get home and look for any leaks in my brake pipes, how will i know if its the servo?

if its a servo fault you'll get a very hard pedal and possibly a hiss around the pedal area, but hardly any braking efficiency,



my servos just packed up last week

so i'll be battling that this weekend

does sound like its lost some fluid, as if there is no pressure.

When was the last time you changed the fluid??

I would be pointing in the direction of the master cylinder or possibly the servo.

Fluid is full, can here a slight his around the pedal. Will that be the servo?

If so is it costly?
