Right my brake servo hisses like you wouldnt believe, At the moment the car is still responsive but its getting right on my nerves,
Does anyone know the part number for this?
Im very interested in getting this but unsure about it? clicky
Would people recommend getting the master cylinder as well?
Also i have been told £30-£40 quid to fit a servo is this good value?
Thanks in advance

how loud is the hissing, mine hisses slightly and I was told by pug and an independant garage that its fine and will be for the forseeable future and that there's no danger of it suddenly failing
edit: its not worth getting second hand off of ebay with stuff like that  if your gunna replace it, get new

Well i got one from a scrapyard, took it off myself and then took it to the garage, he fitted it for me for £20 and well its cured the problem,
So brand new i was quoted 200 and by sourcing the parts i got it sorted for £45, can complain at that!

Which bit is it that actually makes the hissing noise? And how hard is it to change?

the servo but it could also be the pipe, u need to be 100% sure it the servo, (the ufo shaped thing) easy to take off, but as they control all the foot brakes i got a garage to fit it back to the car for £20 so didnt take the risk!

I will be back in bangor next weekend, if i can i will arrange to meet you, that way i can have a quick look and tell you what it exactly is, pipe or servo,
If its the servo you need to make sure you get the right one as there are a few out there with different sizes and if it has ABS etc.
You should be able to get one off your mate, other wise behind tesco, and i will put up a how to so you no how to do it!
