Default Brake master cylinder and servo

.

Is the brake master and servo standard throuhout the range?
My diesel Tourer is losing fluid somewhere, it's not got an external leak
that I can find. I'm assuming it's weeping into the servo
Any advise welcomed.

Default Leak

If the level is dropping and you cannot find a visible leak anywhere then yes,
logic says it is leaking into the Servo. I have seen it on other cars so it does happen.

Check to see if there might be signs of fluid in the servo's vacuum pipe.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

I will check tomorrow, but still need to know if servo and brake master
is the same for all models.

I'm guessing here, but I would expect them all to be the same unit, apart from possibly the V8 and maybe the 190.

Rimmers part numbers will confirm which are the same.

Just looked on Rimmers (never thought of that.. doh)
