Loss of brakes !
Just finished washing the car , I'd left it running on the drive for about 5 mins then went round the block, came to the t junction pressed the brake pedal , nothing happened pedal felt really hard so I pressed harder and the car slowed . Tried this again , did the same, hard pedal no brakes ! Came down the hill back to my house brakes were fine , went for a slow drive around , no problems ! Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any ideas what caused this ?
It has put me off driving the scoob in case it happens at speed so I'd like to get it sorted asap .
The car is an 04 sti jdm .
Thanks
Nigel.

It felt like the servo had stopped assisting , if that makes any sense , the discs do rust up even after rain so I know that feeling and the grating noise that goes with it and it felt different to that , the pedal felt really hard and the amount of pressure I had to put on it to slow the car from not much more than walking pace was quite extreme . Not sure what it was but it feels normal now , just I'm a bit dubious in case it does it again .

If unsure find a local clear stretch of road and try them a few times.
