Update On Brakes
WELL it turned out to be the "Brake Assist Solenoid" it had shorted out we ordered one £91-60 +VAT, guess what it was not that one there are 2 and we ordered the wrong one so we ordered the other one £364-90 + VAT and we put a new brake light switch on aswell now everything is fine.
Total cost inclueding relay home and parts + labour £1145-30 + VAT. I have only had the car 2months and i am thinking of getting rid of it, i have no faith in it anymore after the brakes just slammed on at 70mph VERY SCAREY.
