Trouble pressing the brakes in my 1999 Range Rover

Like most cars, the Range Rover has vacuum boosted brakes. This vacuum assistance helps you apply enough physical pressure to the brakes to pull the vehicle up. Without this assistance, the brakes require much more input from the driver. In many cases, this can make the pedal feel like it has gone hard or stiff. The danger is that, in an emergency, you may not be able to apply enough pressure on the brake pedal quickly enough to avoid a crash. So this needs to be sorted immediately. A loss of brake assistance can be caused by a leak in the vacuum system or a failure of the booster unit itself.
