Soon to be new owner.

Ok, then yes this will be belt driven. At a guess either the belt has snapped or best out come I'd the fluid feed has popped off. The belts break as some of the specialists are reluctant to change them, as the shaft carrier housing bolts, which need removing can be seized. If they snap off in the block its engine out.
Pop the bonnet and airbox off tomorrow you'll be able to see what's going on.

Having bought from a dealer, I'd get them to agree to picking up the tab for your local specialist to fix it. I had a similar couple of niggles when I got mine from another well known independent in the Midlands. Given I wasn't taking it 150 miles back to him, we eventually agreed on my my local specialist doing it and him paying. Even if you don't have a warranty of any sort, the sale of goods act covers you on immediate problems, even on a second hand car.

Afternoon all,
All working again, checked the system and rack for leaks all clear and belt still on the pump and still tight.
I gave the car a run and after a few heavy braking runs the brakes are fine, I think the disks must have had something on the surface making it feel like no mater how hard I pushed they weren't going to stop me.
