What could it be if the brake pedal is rock hard to press? Brakes still work ok.
Fluid looks a bit watery

THIS IS A POINTLESS POST??!¬11
You are posting about a car brake problem
on a car forum,
durrr
To be honest its a strange one, has it been like this since you had the car?
You tend to get harder brakes when you upgrade i think?

you usually get softer brakes if you upgrade, especially if you go for bigger calipers, as the master cylinder isnt quite as powerful enough (something like that).
but yea, sounds like too much fluid  Although take it for a drive and dab the breaks abit, see if it eases it at all. I get this sumtimes when ive breaked alot on a journey, but it usually solves itself a little while later

brakes go harder when your brake servo hose splits... check the pipe that goes from the inlet manifold to the brake servo (just undernearth the brake fluid reseviour if you dont know) if its split or broken, it will need replacing. too much fluid will not cause your brakes to go hard
