Hey allMy brakes were fine up till a few days ago. They feel like sponge and i have to pump them couple of times to stop!! The brake pedal pretty much goes to the floor and my ABS is no longer working (tested it a few times) Could it be the ABS pump? My car is phase 2. I know it cant be the discs or pads as they have been done not to long ago. Would appreciate some help. Thanks  ________________________________________ |

Sounds like a seal in the master cylinder has gone.Not realy advisable to drive the car like that. |

Is there any fluid leaking from under the car/bonnet for starters? Check your flexi's front and rear. Check the inside of the wheels for brake fluid where it's dripped down the caliper/disc. Check all the flexis are tight going into the caliper, may of come loose. Is there fluid in the reservoir? I've had a set of flexis go porous before, brake fluids leaking through the flexi line.
