Hi all
this maybe a stupid question, but my series 3 failed it's MOT on a couple of things one being the brake servo not working, can i just remove it and do away with it, and will it then pass the MOT?
cheers
 
It would probably be easier and cheaper to repair your servo. As far as I can see, to change to a non servo system would mean getting a different pedal box and master cylinder. Are you sure it's the servo at fault - could it be the pipework? John Craddock does a sevo repair kit for a tenner:

Part Details

Ring up your insurance company and see what they think about downgrading the brake system:D

i should have added to the original post, it is a series 2 chassis, with a series 3 safari body, and converted to diesel, the servo does not have anywhere to get the vacuum from (so i think it has never worked) so this is why i asked the question. but thanks again fenby for your sensible reply.
 
my reply was sensible just you dint understand it, you have a couple of options for vacuum take off the standard landrover series butterfly in the intake or a vac pump from something like a pug that will run off a belt

i thought it got its vacuum from inlet manifold on 2 1/4 diesel?
