Just wondering if anything has replaced a brake servo themselves and could offer any advice to doing this. I know that you have to drop the subframe down a few inches to enable you to get the clearance between the servo and the engine to get the thing out but I have never dropped the subframe down on one of these before. Is there anything else that I should know, any tricks to make things easier?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am going to tackle this in the next few weeks?

Thanks

Not something I've had to deal with myself, I'll have a look at my Haynes book of lies and get back to you...

It's funny how most of the instructions start with "gently prize off the..."

Or "refer to main dealer" when they haven't managed to work out something an amateur spanner-monkey can do with some string and a hammer
