Could you give an approximate cost to have the brakes fixed; very hard to apply brakes. Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

Sounds as if the booster is faulty, is the pedal very hard, pump the brakes with the engine off, hold the brakes on and start the engine, the brake pedal should suck down a little, check this and let me know what you find with this booster test.
