ok so i was driving and i started to feel my brakes gripping less, so i put my foot down hard and they dont work, the pedal feels stiff, and when i push the pedal in i can hear air coming from the pedal, so im guessing the brake booster is f**k ?

any ideas what it could also be?
cheers

look around the 3 o'clock area of your brake booster. is it cracked? it's common on EF/L
