hey guess when i pull my car up the brake pedal goes hard like if i was suffering from brake fade or no vacuum assit yet my pedal is fine at idle
i guess that since my vac hose is fine maybe the valve on the booster or the booster has had it are the valves a common problem.
cheers

If by pull up you mean when you stop the car and switch off the engine, make sure you're not switching off the engine while you're still rolling or you'll have no extra power assist on the brakes, ie they'll go hard.

sorry guys
wot i meant is when i go to stop/ slow down the brake pedal is hard the harder i brake the harder the pedal
with the engine running at idle the pedal is ok
