Re: Brake Servo

Paul & all

 

I don't think that it is the servo now andmore the Master cylinder.

 

The symptoms I'm getting are

 

If I jump on the brakes I get a hard pedaland the car stops. If I then keep my foot on the pedal it sinks to the floor. release the pedal and brake hard again I get the same hard pedal then the sinking feeling.

 

If I'm in traffic and just trying to slow the car to stay with the pace i.e. gentle pedal, I get no hard pedal at all just the bite at the very bottom of the travel, NOT an nice feeling I can tell you.

 

Based on that description would you agree it's the Master cylinder not the servo?

Hi Paul,

 

My servo went about a year back,Dave howarth couldn'tcross it over at all.

So I got a new one,but on the dmc site I see the seals are for sale again now or maybee not?

 

I would say the match for it from the scrapyard is ford cortina mk 2 I think the first batch with the square headlights,I did seeone once and it looked the same,after I got my new one of course!

 

What is the servo doing then,

Pulling down to the floor when you lightly touch the pedal?

 

Bye for now Paul Heymeson Vin 741.
