[Healeys] Not Healey - Jaguar XK 150 Brakes

[Oudesluys]

This could well be caused by improper adjustment of the pushrod. This 
will probably be discussed in the WSM.
I had the same problem years ago with another car. I just adjusted the 
rod according spec and all was fine.
Another cause can be the valve in the MBC being at fault or a non 
fitting MBC. In that case contact the supplier.
