Post subject:  Servo issues

Just recently I've been getting intermittent loss of servo assistance on the brakes. Car loses servo power, then is seems to come back next time I brake, only to go again after a few minutes.

Hydraulic pressure is not a problem; pedal is very firm all the time (especially when the servo goes...). Car stops, but obviously requires more (quite a bit more...) pedal force to do so.

Any ideas on where to start looking...?

Well if you come over to the mainland take it into see Eddie at Silvertune in Christchurch, he will sort it, give him a call he will probably have seen something like this before. Sounds like the servo, or vac connections.

Thanks, Sam.

Christchurch's just a bit further than I'd want to drive it right now with dodgy brakes...! :( (But I could change my mind if things get desperate...!)

Any ideas on how to narrow the field of suspects down a bit better...? (I must admit I haven't had a close look at anything myself, yet...)

As I mentioned, give Eddie a call, he could shed some light?

Can`t help on your brake problems apart from thinking there is a leak either on a vacuum pipe or the servo itself.........but it`s nice to see another island member on here :D

All's good. I had a root around and found a split in one of the servo pipes. (Thank goodness it wasn't the pump!) Luckily, it came out reasonably easily (not always the case with these cars...) and I replaced it with a some clear plastic pipe I had lying around in the garage.

Where're you based, Chaser? I live in Cowes.
