The fourth, green, line goes to your climate control. For new parts try the buy parts link or call. You probably want the X-connector (it's not a cactus). Possible p/n 1170780045

If you want to troubleshoot the brake vacuum completely, you could block off this line and test your brakes. You'd lose the functions on the line: shutdown, central locking, climate control. But unless there's been some significant mods, it shouldn't affect brakes.

The lotus forum has an excellent cutaway of a brake MC and description of the "falling pedal" that could be caused by small internal leaks in the MC. I don't know if the MB MC is the same or similar enough, but the engineering seems plausible.

Check the grounds for corrosion for your "quite" horn. There are also carbon brushes in the steering column stalk switch, or the contacts themselves behind the horn pad. Or a bad horn...
