Solid brake pedal
I was driving to Tesco for lunch, drove there, no issues. Started car on the way home and drove normally, the road opened up so I gave it some boost, just as I put my foot down a rabbit ran out into the road so put my brakes on, however my brake pedal was as solid as a solid thing and I couldn't depress it as easy as normal.
Seconds later my pedal depressed again as usual.
is this normal ? If so what was going on?
I'm not very clued up with things like this, when I say things, I mean cars.

I had exactly this problem, as everyone is saying it's the one way valve is damaged. A new hose with valve in is about £26 from Subaru, leave it as original oem don't transplant it into an aftermarket hose.

I also didn't fit it as I'm not technically minded enough and wouldn't trust myself, my mechanic is coming Thursday to have a look.

brakes
to test your servo is working properly pump the brake pedal till it goes hard then start the car if your pedal drops a little bit then its fine as for pedal going hard while braking hard i would look at your abs
