Right i don't now if its me or something is wrong..
When i slam on my brakes they don't really grab, if you get me Like when i put my foot to the floor on the brake pedal seems to be alot of travel..It doesnt stop dead if you get me

Its quite hard to explain..

take it to a garage mate - most will check your brakes for free

Before that tho, check fluid levels/pads etc.

A had a similar problem and it turned out to be a leaky cylinder

Well Funny enough my calipers were leakin but they have seemed to have stopped..
As for the brake fluid in the bottle(under the bonnet) its in the middle so there is enough...Doesnt stop sharply even at 2mph or rolling pace...
