Hi all, I may have a problem developing with the brakes on Buttercup, (1988 2.4 VM)
The other day approching a junction I applied the brakes briefly some distance away to knock some of the speed off, nearer the junction - say 150 yards @ 20/25 mph - I touched the brakes again to come down to about 10mph about 20 yards from the line. Finally touched the brakes to roll to a stop on the line, but, this time I had to quickly increase pressure as braking seemed less efficient.
Back into open country, I tried the brakes and all seemed good, then the third time I braked more pedal was needed.
Is this a case of the servo being on the way out?? Any other possibilities?? I'll admit I haven't checked the fluid since, but did check it over about 10 days ago. (30 miles since)
