Brake woes

Hi folks, Just bought a nice solid early Series 3, and one of the mot fails was for the servo not working. After establishing the vacuum was ok I fitted a new servo but the problem is still there in that the brakes barely work and you have to stand on the pedal; what should I be checking/ replacing next?

hard pedal or lots of travel pedal ?

Very hard pedal, normal travel, any ideas?

Are you sure there are no vacuum leaks? I had to fit jubilee clips to my piping and fix leaks at carb elbow etc before I got full servo working...

Check that the actuator push rod is coming far enough back to allow the piston to do it's job. If it ain't ... it won't!

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dominic & Oldseadog, I'll check both tomorrow.
