Whilst driving home tonight the brakes on my 98 escort suddenly went, the pedal travelled all the way to the floor and the braking deteriorated rapidly. If the brakes were rested for a few minutes then they still stopepd the car but then the pedal would sink to the floor again and the braking force would just vanish.
I wasn't far from home and dind't have to go on any main roads or down any steep hills so managed to coax it home at about 10mph but obviously i can't use it again until it's sorted. Is this likely to be the master cylinder thats gone or could it be something else?
Thanks
