Subject:Help Please, Lost Brakes :-(

Hi All,

So I was driving all today and all of the sudden my brakes stopped working.

I was attempting to slow down coming to a stop sign when the pedal went
straight to the floor.

I pumped the brake pedal and got pressure back when attempting to
depress the pedal but then eventually it the pedal went back down to the
floor.

Sometimes the pedal will drop to the floor without any resistance and
other times there will be some resistance before hitting the floor.

The reservoir is still at the max level and the emergency brake is
holding on a incline.

It's a 1989 vanagon with the bostig setup.

Both front discs and rear drums were replaced ~ 1000mi ago.

Help, please!

Cheers,
Harry
