    sort of unrelated...

    did you confirm whether it was just the rears sticking, or all brakes?

    I did mine just by removing the inlet manifold, dead easy, got to it in 20mins, but then my inlet is easyer to get off than a stock item.

    Get the inlet off and you'll have plenty of room oh son of god

    it seems andy that all the brakes are sticking.., the revs rise very badly when the brake padal is pressed and the whole peddle remains stiff as you like, if youre in a car park , if you press hard and i mean both feet allmost you will stop but nowt else..., i will sort it out but ive too much work to do @ the mo..

    Matt sounds like the servo is the problem.
