Or I should say the travel on the brake pedal is so low it's untrue. I can barely stop the car even at low speed.

Fluid is full. No obvious leaks. Any ideas folks?

If you press the pedal when the engine is not running, and then start the engine, does the pedal press back?
Possibly booster? It's not electrical, so not my forte ;)

Press pedal down put your foot behind the pedal and pull up and and repeat this process for a while
when you pull the pedal back it puts oil in the master cylinder and gives you brake pressure this fix has been mentioned before on this forum

It isn't sticking down and does return when when I release so I'm not sure it's that. Will try though, and thank you.

Its pulling the pedal back to release oil into the brake cylinder which will give you your brake pressure back i had the same problem in the past it worked for me

Any other changes, recently? Been driving it, or no? Let us know how you are making out.

Are you saying that the pedal is solid but braking effort is low? Has the car stood for a while? The brake fluid can solidify in the pipes so worth having it bled and looking at the servo.
