   just popped out, approaching a set of lights, pedal down, nothing happened, just got harder and harder to press, luckily they were on green and I was driving slowly because car is cold.
   
   had all inlet off tonight so must be related, however not sure what to check, help please cos am stuck!

   Did you put the vac pipe back on that goes to the brake servo from the bottom of the inlet?

   Vacuum leak would be my guess, and the most logical option, pipe goes from the servo to the inlet.

   As said the brakes still work you just need to prod the pedal a bit harder!!!

    When mine wasn't plugged in the car still had brakes I wouldn't have said the pedal was solid with my experience

    My servo pipe was kinked causing lack of assistance
