Dispatch 1.9d Hard Brake Pedal Problem

[Guest The Waltons]

Hello,

 

We are new memebers. We were wondering if any members out there could help us. Not sure if I have put this in the right place? Anyway.....We have recently purchased a Dispatch 1.9D (04 Plate), a few days after purchase we noticed the brakes were not responding too well. A week after the brake pedal went completely hard whilst gently braking. Very scary! The problem persisted intermittently so we got it into the garage. The front brake discs and pads have been replaced, the pipe and valves leading from the vacuum pump to the servo and finally the Vacuum Pump was replaced. Unfortunately the problem is still there and the vehicle is completely unsafe to drive. Can anyone help please.

 

I look forward to a reply

 

many thanks

I am a new member so hi everyone!

 

My reason for joining is that I have the exact same problem with my 53 reg dispatch hdi. An intermittent hard pedal resulting in no brakes whatsoever until the handbrake is pulled! It's been to the garage a couple of times to have the vacuum reconditioned and then replaced but still the problem persists.

 

I realize this thread was started last year but could I ask if replacing the servo worked and how much were you charged?

 

Also does anyone else have any other ideas?

 

Many thanks!
