Part No. 1666345 (Booster). I got one last year from 'Foray Ford'. They were the cheapest I could find at 121.93 inc. VAT and Del. 01722 746350

I wouldn't bother searching for anything Second Hand Clive as it's a job that'll take the largest part of a day. I'm also told by outlets that they are not unknown to fail.

Prolly worthwile changing the Master Cylinder whilst you're in there. Mike Virgo was the cheapest on that one.

cheers bruce, did the master cylinder 10 months ago, so just the servo that might be a bit suspect.

Have you checked the one way valve before and the connecion to the servo including the grommet before spending £130 odd on a replacment servo ?

The servo on my S gave up years ago and caused no end of running issues until we found it was corroded underneath out of site which bled air into the system

I don't knwo the routing of yours now you've changed the engine, but the routing of the servo draw from the trumpet base to the one way valve in the servo can be prone to being dislodged with the movement of the engine . .. . given your recent exertions along the drag strip . . . ?

hehe no thats fine mate, just the clutch that didn`t like lasting long on the dragstriphehe

I seem to remember when I replaced my master cylinder that the leaking seals have let fluid into the servo, I sucked this out, doesn`t taste very nice, but wonder if it could have damaged it in some way, old age ect.

did you turn up at snett on sunday mate, didn`t see you.
