Hi

I'm having a problem with my Brakes I don't have much of a pedal it's very stiff I'm sure it's the servo, does anybody know we're I can get a repair kit for it? 

I have been told by Eddie in Dublin to ask for  Gav Helme and Adrian Cox as they might be able to help me.

Check the brake action with and without vacuum before you start changing servos

Do as Gordon O has suggested but sadly, there is no repair kit for the servo; you will need to buy a new or look hard for a second hand one. New ones are dear.

Pull out the opaque (white) pipe going into the servo with engine running; vacuum should be felt at the end of this pipe. Note the engine will run rough whilst this pipe is off.

I assume if you need a servo, someone on here could provide a second hand one?

If not companies do repair them.

Let us know the result?
