"hot the brakes" does not mean anything. Hot is not a verb.

Edit - my mistake. Apparently it is a verb in certain parts of the world. I've never heard it used that way. I'll translate your post.

There's no good reason for the engine to run poorly if the brakes get hot. Probably just a coincidence. How do you know the brakes were "hot" anyway?

Just throwing darts here... but maybe it is "hit" the brakes, and there's a vacuum leak in the booster?

That makes more sense. I learned a new word though. I used to know a guy that used the word "mash" instead of press. "Mash the button." He was from the same part of the country that says "hot up that piece of pie".

"Mash that microwave oven button and hot up that piece of pie".

There are some different ways of saying things, that's for sure. My friend moved to Australia around 12 years ago, and I was trying to help him diagnose some issues on his Explorer. I had to remind him that I am not familiar with Aussie slang, LOL. It was sure weird to see a right hand drive Explorer, BTW. I thought his pics had somehow became reversed at first.

Does writing in bold mean something different ?

Looked up "mormal" . Definition = A bad sore; a gangrene or cancer.

Yea, doesn't fit. 3rd...maybe 4rth grade....that works.
