Fairly easy to diagnose with a vacuum pressure gauge. The vacuum pump on what is now my son's 35d went out last year at I think something like 140,000 miles. Symptoms of stiff brake pedal and poor braking. In our case the booster was fine. Replacing the vacuum pump solved everything. Not too hard of a repair as I recall - everything is right up front and fairly easy to get to.

Good luck with what I hope is your last repair!
