the load sensing valve does go faulty on these vans,have a good look at it where rubber boot fits for brake fluid leak.if so will need replacing and all brakes bleeding. the setting for l.s.v. should be on a sticker stuck to underside of bonnet.

brake (master cylinder) RUBBERS faulty is letting fluid past the rubbers internally hence no pedal PRESSURE
