after supposedly fixing my brakes and them all working fine the other day - I drove to Southampton from home, all motorway miles - but taken steady - not too much heavy braking etc

however came into southampton; straight strecth of road nothing about - so decided to really test the brakes from 60-0; slammed on the anchors and it stopped well, tried it a second time - wasnt as good

third time; on my drive nothing - I had no brakes!!! only just stopped from about 2 mph using the handbrake

Assuming fluids gone, as when I push the pedal down it doesnt seem under pressure-nor does it come back up properly!!!

If this is the case then am I likely to have damaged a hydro. cylinder in one of the rears? - which is causing the leak?

PS no visable signs of brake fluid anywhere on the wheels etc...........
