ive got a 96 xantia and recently the car stopped jacking up on the back when you start it and the brakes seem like they are not going to stop and they brake really sharp, someone suggested having a look at the LHM?? fluid, the disc in the glass thingy should be between the 2 red lines but at the moment it is above. my mate has had a look but couldnt find the problem, im not too keen to spend too much on repairs because of the age of the car, just wondering if anybody has any ideas?? to be honest i am completely useless with cars!! many thanks in advance wayne
