My g brake system has failed, what could it be , i knew the pads were on there way out but now the pedal has no feeling, completely slack.
The front left caliper is leaking.
My question is surely i should still have braking ability on my other angle as does'nt the resivoir not have a split section to for this diagnal system.
Any light on the issue would be great
could it be anything expensive, i hope not

You will need to retify the brake leak first and foremost.

Once, there is a leak, which I suspect is drastic, considering you have no pedal, air would have leaked into the hydraulic system, hence, NO brakes.

Exchange calipers are available from Euro car parts, from £70 to £90.
My pricing is old, so don't take my word for it, this only a guide line.

Regards.
