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!

I was hoping simon would have seen the status anyway. But any hope of him replying has now gone as you've bullied him away haha

I have had a lifetime of faith Ben. They never cease to amaze me. Just hoping it's not anything really serious. It's stuff like the CAT which is now 17 years old and other bits and bobs that will mean aggro/expense. Bodywork is near perfect (thank God).

Mine is set for a fail if my hazard flasher unit doesn't come in the post today :L only other thing I'm worried about is its started to pull to the left. Hopefully just tracking but could be more serious :/ fingers crossed!

Perhaps they will turn Top Gear back into a programme about cars & motoring from the comedy programme it is at present.

Although I do like top gear and the jovial outlook it has, clarkson always goes too far. I'll be interested to see the outcome of this one as he was previously on his last warning from the bbc execs. I've been lucky enough to go to 2 recordings and believe me, it's a bloody long day, not 2 hours.
