How old is your brake fluid ... this stuff is hydroscopic (attracts water) and should be replaced regularly. Water in brake system = very bad. IIRC the water boils under pressure and creates air bubbles causing the symptoms you describe.

As for the car its a 03 auto with ztec engine, any ideas? :( this is driving me nuts...grrr
