    HI
    I need some advice from the experts out there as two mechanics now cant answer my worrying question: Why do i have no brake pedal some mornings and have it others? I thought it was linked with the freezing weather but it hasnt consistently been so. the minute i pump the pedal it returns but that not a great comfort when it happens. My car is a 04 2.0diesel Mondeo. Help Please!

    You need a better mechanic. That sounds bloody dangerous.

    Did you just ask the two mechanics?

    Or did you leave it in with them and they couldn't fix it? I cant think how a mechanic would release a car without getting to the bottom of that one.

    I'd be thinking worn master cylinder seal or similar to start with.

    I'd get the car seen to by a mechanic, in a garage!

    I'd say its going to be a problem with the master cylinder. Possibly also ABS pump.

    Thats assuming you are not loosing any fluid? Have you been keeping an eye on the resevoir?

    Vacuum on servo assistance - leaky hose?
