Uprating the brakes is not my intention as they work fine, rather a reduction in the pedal pressure required, to bring it closer to my Peugeot diesel which has really light brakes...

Update: I got an unvented filler cap now to fit the new master cylinder. I guess that when it comes to brakes you can't cut corners and any job is worth doing properly. (I suppose that this is the problem when you buy bits off the web without seeing the parts first). Thanks for the advice all, and t...

Hi David I am about to do the same thing, although I am only going to site the servo in the front nearside engine bay floor, and get my mate to plumb it up, as he's got all the right threaded gizmos, lots of pipe and a big lift.

Dont' buy a jumbo squeeze gun! They are worse than useless and you get covered in waxoyl and extremely bad tempered. Within 15 minutes mine got thrown in the bin. Compressor and spray gun definately the way to go.
