  1. It was down to you both that we got it sorted so quickly 😊 I am so glad I found this forum.
  2. Thank you for your advice guys, the mechanic replaced the vacuum pump after checking everything else and my car is now back on the road. Maggie.
  3. Thank you Dave and Trevor, Mark has checked all the tubing and there is no wear or leak. The valve is fine too but there isn't a sensor on my 118. Could it be the vacuum pump itself and how costly would it be to replace. Thank you for your help. Maggie.
  4. Dave, Thank you so much for the welcome and fast response . It's a huge relief to have probable answers to this. Will send this to the mechanic and hopefully my car will be safe again soon. Maggie 😊

  6. Joined site hoping for some help. My 2007 1 series has developed an intermittent problem on braking when revs are low. Brake goes really hard and car keeps moving. AA said it was ABS controller so sent it for checking and no fault found. Brake fluid ok. Diagnostic check showed a bulb but no bulbs out. Mechanic took car 5 miles without the problem but when slowing right down fault back again. Would really appreciate your help and advice.
