we went out last night (our first night out since our little lad was born)

anyway, driving home at about 1:15 when a badger ran out in front of us

the wife slammed the brakes on and we missed the bloody thing :mad:

well, the resulting emergency stop somehow locked the brakes on.

we were in the middle of a round about at the time

we got home at 4am thanks to the AA and the car is sat on the drive with the brakes jammed on and the brake lights on

the pedal is solid, like the servo is jammed

anybody ever heard of or experienced this?

if so how did you/they fix it?

i had it recalled recently for the scuttle panel water problem, i've taken the cover off just to be sure and there is no water there

spent a couple of hours on this today

we eliminated everything part by part

then tried to drive the car

it moved!!!!

but only for 20 yards or so :(

turns out the servo is knackered, the wheels spin freely with the engine to servo hose disconnected

put it back in and they sieze up!!!!

anybody have the part number?

or know a price for them?
