Replaced my servo (correct type) and master when i was doing my rebuild. Within first month i had to replace the servo. The brake pedal pressure kept building while driving until the brakes eventually were on. Tried everything - adjusting rod in servo etc. Changed the servo and problem went away instantly.
Replaced with Bearmach one (other was £40 Brit part) and got 10 months out of it with great brakes. Rebuild my front callipers and a week later, over night my servo assist has gone completely. I Was trying the usual trick of building up pressure and turning engine on, but the pedal was solid after a short distance of travel so pressure seemed to already be there.
Put in my old servo to check and instantly had servo assist again, but of course, its back to doing that weird thing of gradually building pressure as i drive until the brakes are locked on.
Called LR direct regarding the bearmach one failing, they said they’ve never seen or heard of this before so it needs to go for testing....
So questions are;
1) First servo, is this a known failure issue where it builds pressure over time?!
2) With my second one failing (not providing servo assist), could there be an issue elsewhere causing the servos to fail? I.e. the master?
3) why don’t i loose pressure in the brakes that would then require me to pump them and build the pressure (for the servo test)? Maybe due to limited travel with my new pads?
4) what am i missing? If something was wrong with the rebuilt callipers, could that cause issue?
