Description of the problem	The master brake cylinder broke down on my car. The warning lights finally came on however the issue was noticeable before that as the car braking at low speeds created slight stuttering stops when coming to the end of a complete stop plus more importantly, we noticed braking was getting more difficult at certain times.
