I had a fun day the other day i couldnt get it to go anywhere today i couldnt get it to stop. Brakes failed on a downhill in traffic. The pedal went rock hard and it wouldnt stop it slowed a bit but there was no brakes after a few miles i got use to it.
Fluids fine must be pads or master cylinder ahwell

I would say its either the vac pump on the back of the altenator, or the vac hose to the servo is split. Especially as you said you heard hissing the other day. Master cylinder going would give a soft pedal. If it is the master cylinder, its the same as a leafer fronty, or at least a 2.3. Double check your not losing vacuum on the black with red stripe hose.

Here is mine Drinks. I have arrowed it. You cannot see it but I have blocked it off as I have no need for vacuum apart from the brakes. The black/Red one serves the EGR's and QWS (quick warm-up system). The big one is the brake servo feed.

Cleaned out the inside of a metric ton of rubbish, took off the spare wheel and deposited it in the boot, and then finished off by getting underneath it and removing the side steps. I would of taken the bumpers off but didn't want to temp fate tomorrow on her trip to surgery.
