Default Brakes just failed on the missus clio...

luckilt she only nearly went into the back of one car, but fortunatly didnt

rang the AA at 2.30, just got home

the pedal is real easy to push down, when driving you push it to the floor, it does nothing, then will lock the wheels and thats it.

no feel to the pedal at all.

i think its most likely the master cylinder/servo as with the engine off, if you pump the pedal it goes a bit harder but not solid, you can still push it down to the floor with a bit of effort.

AA guy said it could also be a rear cylinder or a caliper leaking as that will have the same effect. also that some brake fluid will leak on brake pedal if its the master cylinder.

anyone else got any ideas, and prices of parts, its a 1998 mk2 clio 1.2

cheers
