I have a 1990 740GL, about 180,000 miles. The brakes were never great, but within the last week or so, the brake pedal will sink to the floor when pressure is applied after the car has been driven for about 20 minutes, and I can only stop by quickly shifting into neutral and yanking up on the hand brake. I have to leave the car undriven overnight, and the brakes will be fine until the next 20 minutes of driving have passed. Any suggestions? The only Volvo mechanic I trust is more than 20 minutes away.
