I pulled out of work this afternoon and my car suddenly has no power and the brakes virtually stopped working! The pedal is solid, like when you pump if after switching the engine off. I'm awaiting recovery!!!

The loss of power is like limp mode but it will accelerate very slowly. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS on the dash either (like with limp mode).

Your thoughts - 44000 mls, SR180, very recently serviced.

Thanks. Dave.

Cancel the panic.

See the below pic. The pipe at this location had come off. No idea how but apparently it provides pressure for the brake servo and obviously something to do with acceleration? Can't believe I didn't spot it hanging off when the tow truck chap had a look, reconnected it and told me job done... In about that time. :blushing:

As that fixed the problem I was on my way. One new jubilee clip later and I'm a happy bunny. :D
