Got it fixed but was a little more serious than expected. Saturday morning my brakes completely stopped working so i took it in to get looked at - needed new pads on the front, shoes on the back and 2 new slave cylinders at the back

Came to £160

you should check pads at same time, the fluid doesn't just vanish, it mean the pads have wore down
