For those who wonder a bit about brake servos, I did a vacume test at mine, it wasnt doing anything so once I knew it was broken I decided to open it up.

Turns out the big plastic bit was cracked ( I dont know how) and there was several pieces of sharp plastig inside the servo, and is what I asume puncherd the rubber diafragm.
Ive had the capri for almost 4 years and ive always though brakes in an "old" car are just that stiff. Bloody glory now ive fitted a 2.8 one with a granny MC.

Here I atach some pics
