Thanks!
A more extreme example is the wife's car. Used to be, she stepped on the brakes and they didn't engage like they should and suddenly, they engaged. What I theorize happened is that as she gently stepped on the brakes, the hoses swelled till they could go no more then they let the pressure thru and the brakes felt like suddenly engaging. Now she puts a little pressure and the brake is there.
