Car was running perfectly. Gave her a wash and took her for a spin.
Whilst about 5km away from home and sitting at a set of traffic lights, the idle started spluttering and hunting then stalled.
At the first bend I noticed I had no brakes at all.
Now that the car is home, I still have no brakes, dodgy idle and a lack of power.
Could this be one single vacuum line?
Any help woud be appreciated.

check all connections and hoses - did you use a power sprayer under the bonnet?

Found it! Had a split plastic hose under where the airbox joins the turbo.
Can't help but think this part would have been less likely to split if it was actually rubber and not plastic.
Thank you for your help. Is good to have brakes again!
