G'day,
thanks for your reply

There's a note written on the dash in white - oil cooled brakes.
There's nothing on the side of the bonnet aside from the model number.

Thing is, it was serviced a few months ago, last Friday afternoon it was fine, Monday morning - no brakes. I've asked the guys who were here on Saturday, nothing happened to it.

I haven't seen any puddles of brake fluid lying around anywhere, and the reservoir has plenty in it.

If the last guy put the wrong fluid in [dot 4 vs dot 5, etc] would the seals just suddenly fail like that?

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
