Upon starting the car after a brief stop with no prior indication of brake irregularities, the brake pedal went to the floor. The car was stationary at the time; the brake pedal must be depressed in order to start the car. There was an accompanying burning smell at this time, probably attributable to brake fluid being sprayed onto hot engine/exhaust components. There was no useful partial brake action at this time. The car was towed to jag dealer. No fluid in reservoir, left front brake hose had lost integrity. Dealer replaced brake hose, filled and bled system. Dealer provided failed hose to owner for examination. After pressurizing the hose with very low pressure air it was evident that there was a complete failure of the swage connection of the hose at the caliper end fitting. The hose has been displaced from the fitting, and air can be made to escape from the fitting/hose connection simply by blowing into the other end of the hose. Photos attached.
