Just pulled my 2wd out the garage for the 1st time in a while & the brake pedal is rock solid! A few times it's eased off & been ok but mostly so hard there's no brakes at all!!
Also I can hear some noise from the master cylinder when I press the pedal?

Any ideas? I always like to ask on here before I start checking & changing everything!

Check the big green 30Amp fuse. Its under the glove box if its a 2wd

got enough brake fluid??

glad you found the problem now.
I found my 2wd peddle was solid after getting to the end of a dual carridgeway after playing with a motorbike. outcome was messy!
that was something to do with the ABS fuse. plus I dind have a turbo heatshield which I think heats up the breaks?

Don't think his resolved it?

What do you define by a "gargling" sound? When the pedal is depressed with ignition a couple of times the pump should activate, the proper sound it makes is more of a buzzing sound.

Yes if brake fluid boils this will lead to the loss of breaks!
