--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Beamers,
With interest I follow the servo discussion and I start wondering
if my Alpine doesn't suffer from servo problems as well.
My revs go up and stay up under braking then what exactly could be
leaking (I've put a new hose between the servo and inlet manifold as well)
And then the leak should be audible shouldn't it ?
Also my brake performance is not very good at least if I compare it with a
modern car with a servo.
Even compared with my Imp without servo, I used to think it was just the
weight of the car.
So how can I check if my servo is working properly, should I be able to lock
the wheels when braking hard like on my Sunbeam Imp Sport with sevo ?
Another thing is that when comming to a halt at lower speeds it seems that the
front brake pads lock/grip, so I have to reduce the pedal pressure !
