How are the brakes - is there any air in the system? ABS equipped cars can be notoriously hard to bleed all the air from.

Thanks for ideas, The brake pedal is solid but this does not move even when you start car as if it has`nt got a servo or ABS pump motor not running.is there a way of testing ABS motor ? or is it a visit to a diagnostic .
Thanks again Mick,
