Hi and welcome!
Nice to know that someone at a dealer 1) knows what these cars are, and 2) knows that this forum exists! Very nice of them to point you in this direction!
As you are a new user on the forum, your first few posts are restricted from the For Sale/Wanted sections - this is to prevent spamming in these areas - a few more posts elsewhere, and you'll then be able to post in the For Sale/Wanted sections
I'm sure if you post up what issues you're having, we'll be able to point you in the right direction!

Welcome.
Where about in Birmingham are you based? I'm not too far so will keep an eye out if I'm nearby. If you get a flash of headlights from a silver Volvo V70R or blue Audi A4, it might be me!

Sorry for the late replies, the problem i have is: i have no brakes, i bleed the brakes and i get some pressure back in the peddle, 10 minutes later no brake pressure in pedal and absolutely no brakes. Think i might have a damaged brake line?
Are you seeing a puddle of brake fluid anywhere? Obvious question, but worth asking.
Theres no fluid leak, i thought id see the leak when i pressed the brakes, but nothing. The fluid level doesn't drop either
Could be the leak is under the bonnet and you are dripping onto something (maybe undertray) and pooling up?
Another obvious question, but are you parked on a relatively clean flat surface when looking for leaks? I ask because I didnt know one of my old cars had a slow oil leak as I always parked on gravel and you cant see the stains. It wasnt until I parked on the flat concrete that I noticed the leak!
leaking brake master? my friend had that on his Honda once looked perfectly fine but wouldn't hold pressure similar to your description. we replaced everything on the brakes one by one until he decided to get a smaller master (make room for oil catch can after turbo) we discovered that must have been it. there may be a way to test this though im no mechanic
Thanks for the replies, ive had a look in the engine bay, under the car, checked the under-tray, they are all dry, no sign of any leaks. Might just get it dropped off to the garage and let them try finding the fault.
Check biggish rubber pipe that connect back of the plenum with brake servo, seen them split b4.

Thanks adaxo, i'll check
Finally found the leak!
Looks impossible to replace without removing the rear subframes etc. Picture below

It is hard, very hard, but doable without taking sub frame off, been there and done it but it was worst job ever.
Adaxo, you wouldn't have a "how-to-guide" on here for that job?
