2 votes for GAP IID - but you need the right version to work on a 2018 vehicle. 
It must be the G3 version to work on newer L405's.

5 years old!  That's not on at all, I'd have rejected them.
General consensus is 10 years is as old as you should run, so at 5 years old they're already half way through their ... |

I think it's a great looking car.
Shame it's very unlikely to be coming here, unless it can go on a diet, otherwise only oldies (like me) and people who can be bothered to upgrade their driving lic ... |

You might have a failing flexible brake hose, probably on the front.
If they start to collapse internally, it can take a hard push of the pedal to get fluid past the problem. That would lead to yo ... |
