" Does anyone know if a faulty servo could cause the brakes to stick on ever so slightly? "

Yes, especially the way it's mounted , air can be trapped in the air control valve ,

Re: Oil leak

Oil pressure, that's normal, higher pressure when the oil is cold ( thicker) , and higher pressure when the pump ( engine) is running faster...

As for oil loss due to poor crankcase breathing..that's a longer subject.

Re: Electric Morris Minor

I have no problems with electric cars, their technology is wonderful and in ten or twenty years I will probably have no problem with their battery technology either but what I'm not happy with is loss of Historic status , Road Fund licence or MOT compliance..

Re: Break light switch removal, stuck

When replacing make sure you don't get left with an air bubble in this leg. It will no bleed out in my experience and causes spongy brakes. You can get an assistant to gently push down on thr brakes to ensure the union is full while refitting ... or with a "dropper" , apply a little brake ...
