The brake hoses at the front of these cars are starting to fail
with the internal nylon tube lining blocking the hose. If it
pulls to one side when you do an emergency stop it will pull to
the opposite side of the failed hose indicating which hose has
failed (but if this proves to be the cause replace both and also
check the calliper pistons/bores have not corroded as a result
and failed).
