Duuh me an idiot ... surely not, mind you I could be driving a REAL MODERN car
for less than the B cost so maybe.
Rest assured I wll ask more (stupid?) questions.
I believe Nolan missed the reference to REMOTE brake servo (did they ever get
fitted to stateside B's?) which is about 4 foot away from the MC.
The MC is OK. I'm taking the car to the local MG specialist to diagnose.
I've replied privately to Nolan, but I'm gratefull for ALL suggestions
(the same query posted on the MG Web BBS was completely ignored!).
Brakes are important, if I was running the risk of killing someone I'd
appreciate a forthright warning!
