Hi there,
My wife and I had a great day out in Cheshire on an MG Run called 'the
Cheshire Romp' travelling along many lanes that were a single car width..
until the brake pedal started to lose its strength, eventually losing
every vestige of resistance just before a major crossroads!
Fortunately, I managed to bring the car to a halt before the junction with a
combination of gears and hand-brake... and there was a pub opposite which
supplied a superb lunch and a pint of refreshing beer! We were trailered
home... which is another story...
The next day I looked into the system and it appears that the seals in the
servo had failed.. so that when the pedal was operated, fluid was drawn into
the servo.
I have obtained another servo off eBay for a very reasonable price - half
the price of the seals... but we'll see when I fit it!
My question is whether anyone has experience with a fluid level detector in
the master cylinder...
This one seems to fit the bill!

The the kit is #59 + carriage (#5) + VAT = #76.80
Seems quite expensive... but then it could be well worth it!
Anyone?
