Do you know if it will do any harm if I ignore it ?My volvo dealer charges 125 euros per hour and to be honest I can live without an alarm system if it doesnt shut anything else down.Thanks for your help.

brake failure on 99 s80

My 99 s80 d5 173000 mls and 46 mpg has developed a brake problem.On start up the pedal is very hard and barely stopps the car rolling but if I continue it sorts itself out ,Its as if the servo isnt working or something.Fluid levels ok and no obvious damage to discs or calipers,any ideas??
