1719.0. "Jaguar Brake Servo" by DENVER::DAVISGB (I'd rather be driving my Jag) Tue Mar 10 1992 02:33

    I will be traveling to London (and around England) at the end of the
    month.....and while we're on the subject of England....,
    
    My 1959 Jaguar XK150 power brake servo started leaking fluid, and most 
    probably needs a rebuild.  Can anyone suggest a place in London 
    (or within reasonable distance) that I could pick up a repair kit(s)?
    
    Seems like every kit I receive over here says it was made over there!
    
    Cheers,

	I'd first try any Jaguar dealer, but make sure you can remember your servo's identity as there may have been different variants fitted, e.g. does it have any markings, what shape is it, where do the pipes fit. If Jaguar do a kit, get a price first. If they don't then ask them who to go to. The reason for getting a price first is to compare with any other source suggestions you get in this topic. There are a number of specialist parts firms over here. If you can identify the Servo's manufacturer that might lead to a more likely source. JK
