Brakes

[RSi Dave]

Coming home tonighton the motorway, go to press the brake and the pedal goes all the way to the floor, never has done this before.

Also slight grinding noise from the rear when i brake, and sometimes after changing down gears to slow down the pedal gets some firmness back but then loses it again.

Also the handbrake is very loose when applying it

Now ive checked the haynes manual and it says it could be either:

1. Master brake cylinder
2. air in the system
3. brake servo

Its a mk1 RSI, so front and rear discs

Anyone help
