Brake Fluid Leak From Vacume Booster

Well with 4 days till the french off road trip my VX is pissing out brake fluid.

what i dont understand is that its coming from between the fire wall and the booster, not the booster and the master cylinder??? I dont see how fluid is getting back there, normally if theres a leak in the piston it comes out the front of the booster doesnt it?? I cant even see a booster on ebay, just the master cylinders...

ANYONE had a similar problem or can shed some light on the situation??

I may try a garage in the morning but i'm not equiped to strip the brakes, get the part and bleed the brakes on my own... ARGHHHHH

just spoke to greasemonkey (thanks mate!!!) and master cylinder is DEAD! trying to source another :(

Sounds like you're destined to be in town to go to the museum with Wifey & I on Saturday.:)

Ouch! Thats a bummer James!

Milner have one - assuming its the same as the Trooper one?

Its not cheap, but you get around 15% off by being a FWDC member: http://forum.fourwheeldriveclub.com/...hp?f=132&t=727

Alternatively theres a few on eBay

Good luck James!

Anyone know if this will fit?

I have one for sale as well. The leak you're probably having is between where the rod that attaches your brake pedal to the piston enters the piston chamber, sounds like a seal might have went. Here's a link to my thread.

James, I think it needs to be from a 3.2 Trooper... According to the downloadable parts list on here, it's part number 8971780100, which is Trooper 3.2 on this site: http://www.autocarspare.com/catalog/...971780100.html

The offer from Ascinder would be your best bet, but dunno if he can get it to you in time for France! :(

I have bought from him and I'd highly recommend him - Top Man!

Thanks for all the help guys, i ordered the milner part to my local garage for tomorrow AM so hopefully the part is correct and they get it done by tomorrow evening, fingers crossed!!!!

Its ALIVE !!!! :dan_ban::jump::dan_ban::dance::clap::LineWave:


After the havoc of trying to source parts and get a garage to do the work at such short notice I picked the ‘fixed’ car up last night but the brakes were crap!! So I took it back this morning and got them to re-bleed them (it would seem they didn’t bother the first time) and its all workin great!!! France here I come.
