    A hard pedal normally relates to the servo/booster having a vacuum issue, possibly a slight leak or old worn components.

    My 850 has the same problem, think it mite be the one way valve that goes into the servo, looks discoloured/burnt due to heat. Haven't tried fixing it yet though as my car is in the naughty corner...
