Right...
I've not used my car for a few days mainly due to the cold weather but I'm due back at work tomorrow so thought I'd start her up...
1st trime no worries however when I pressed the brake pedal there was a strange hissing noise coming from the passenger footwell area. As long as pedal weas pressed it continued to hiss. Now I know this is where the back of the servo/master cylinder feeds in to the cabin and is connected to the brake pedal push rod but should it hiss?
The car was still cold, the brake pedal went pretty hard but when pressed the rev rose by about 500rpm. I reversed a little and applied brakes - and car stopped - pulled forward and same again.
Checked engine bay and servo area and all hoses are connected, not split and the reservoir for fluids is full.
Any ideas? I did notice it the last time I took the car out but brakes seemed okay.
