Lobby 99 Posted September 3, 2021 Hi all, after a 2 month wait I've just got my refurbished brake servo back. Not sure if I'll have time to get it fitted and bled this weekend but once I do I'll let you know how it performs! Hopefully it'll at least stop now :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigdlo 26 Posted September 10, 2021 May I ask who refurbished the servo, and the cost? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lobby 99 Posted September 11, 2021 Hi all, just after a bit of advice. A new master cylinder was fitted to my car last year (not by me) and I think it is a land Rover type but the reservoir clashed with the vacuum connector on the brake servo. Now I'm putting it back together I'm trying avoid having the same problem. Here is a photo of the original (dead) master cylinder and the new one, you can see why there is now a clearance issue.

Lobby 99 Posted September 11, 2021 I've relieved the edge of the reservoir as much as I can and have also fitted a couple of washers between the servo and the master cylinder to gain a bit of room. Am I right in thinking that the washers won't be a problem once the system is up to pressure and the servo rod is against the plunger in the master cylinder?

Lobby 99 Posted September 11, 2021 Here is a comparison of the original and Land Rover master cylinders fitted and the clearance issue is easy to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 529 Posted September 11, 2021 Yep landy one, won't be a problem you could swap fitting for a right angle one, spin servo 180* so it's at bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, I was wondering if it would be ok to turn the servo upside down, I guess it makes no difference to how it works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
