Help. No brakes
Hi there,
I just got home from a spirited drive in my series 7 FD and whilst driving my brakes stiffened up and it was hard to stop. I pulled over to check the pads and from what I can see they looked fine.
The E-brake light has been on for a few weeks also. Could this be contributed to the problem?
Also, I noticed whilst driving home carefully. The engine idles pretty high and wierd.
Are these all symptoms of a new brake change? I apologise for the newbish question. Any help is much appreciated.
Andy

yep everythings in check now. the e-brake light has disappeared after topping up with brake fluid.
one of the vacuum hoses had cracked. taped it up and the the brakes work properly.
