Thanks for your help with my earlier post regarding my brake pedal not returning which between us all looked like it was due to the return spring on the brake pedal. Replaced it with a stronger spring which seemed to ease the problem.....that was until I was driving on Sunday and the pedal went like rock!!!
Been a will since I had to use 2 feet on the brake to stop the car!!!
Well it seem that all my problems are pointing to the brake booster or Servo as it is know in the UK. Heres what happens:
1. Brake pedal slow to return fully
2. Rock hard Brake pedal
3. Car when at idle increased in revs when I press the brake pedal (MAD!!)
4. Removed the valve from the Servo/Booster and I thought that it should be a one way flow valve, but it is not
5. Have replaced the servo hose (not with the correct reinforced pipe, but it made no difference, so I assume that this is not at fault)
Just wanted some comformation whether it is reparable or scrap and/or if anyone has had these similar experiences.
Cheers
Matt
