Do the brakes still work without the servo?

There are several types of brake servo and are we talking about unbolting it and throwing it away or do you mean if the servo is eleminated from the system? Most brake systems will work if the Brake Booster servo does not work. No braking system will work if you unbolt the servo and throw it away.

Probably cause by a worn out/defective brake light switch.

Check to see if Brake lamps work when brake pedal is pressed. If not gear shifter is locked for safety so replace fuse or repair brake lamp switch.

Purpose of brake servo?

The purpose of the brake servo is to provide power assistance to the braking system when then brake pedal is pushed. The brake servo is usually a flat drum-shaped unit to the rear of the brake master cylinder. Typically, on a petrol car, a hard plastic pipe connects the servo to the inlet manifold of the engine. When the engine is running, air is sucked in through the inlet manifold; this partial vacuum is stored in the servo drum, and is used to amplify the pressure exerted by the driver on the brake pedal. A one-way valve is fitted in the system, usually in the plastic pipe, to avoid the vacuum in the servo being lost when the throttle is opened or the engine switched off. With a diesel engine, insufficient vacuum is generated in the inlet manifold to work the servo, so on diesel cars the hard plastic pipe from the servo is connected to a vacuum pump, which is typically mounted on the end of the camshaft, or sometimes on the back of the alternator. The symptoms of brake servo malfunction are usually a brake pedal that feels very stiff and has to be pushed very hard to operate the brakes. One common cause is the plastic pipe split or leaking where it joins the servo or the inlet manifold. The one-way valve can also fail, as can (less commonly I would say) the servo unit itself. On diesel cars, the vacuum pump can fail or can be tired, causing the pedal to stiffen with repeated use of the brakes. Good luck from Norn Irn!


Which lining does most of the braking on a dual-servo brake?

I'm going to say the secondary (facing rearward) lining on dual-servo drum brake does more work than the primary (facing forward) lining because the rear lining is almost always longer than the front lining to compensate for more wear.


How does electric servo motor brake work?

break is connected with parallel to motor winding if the brake is d.c. is supply it must be connected with rectifier unit,when motor in ideal position the brake holds the shaft which is connected with gear and when motor starts the break coil will energise and motor shat became free and motor will run like this brake work


What happens when all your brake fluid leaks out?

The brake fluid is hydraulic fluid, transmitting the force from the master cylinder and servo, to the brake shoes or pads. If it leaks away, the brakes will not work. The leak MUST be identified and rectified, and the hydraulic system refilled and bled properly.

Where to download a free owners manual for a 2003 Land Rover Range Rover HSE?

If this doesn't work I got to the link by going to www.landrover.com then selecting UK then the 'ownership' tab, then 'about my land rover' then down the right hand side was "handbooks and manuals'. If you get here the rest should be self explanatory
