Had a bad week as it is and to top it off the minis brakes completely failed last night whilst I was out on my local mini run. Lucky wasn't doing any speed as engine started to struggle due to something leaking at the front of block, day at work then home to look at why mini went suddenly wrong :(

    Given the timing of the engine running badly and the brakes going, isn't it just an issue with the servo / servo hose? ie servo hose splits or falls off, huge vacuum leak results causing rough running? Was the pedal hard to press with little braking, or did it go to the floor?

    Ach, ignore me - just saw your thread about this and Mokes extremely plausible explanation!
