the whole car is standard terry Title: Re: answers needed please Post by: zulu on June 11, 2008, 08:46:19 PM Terry, sometimes a hard clutch pedal can be caused by the flexible rubber hydraulic line that runs to the slave cylinder.
Over time this can become restricted requiring greater pedal pressure, so if your slave cylinder is not leaking, you may find improvement by just changing the line. As far as the power booster goes for the brakes, I'm going to fit a VH24, to my wagon as I believe this is the correct unit for standard brakes. Good luck with it.

is this correct Title: Re: answers needed please Post by: EffCee on June 11, 2008, 11:03:46 PM Terry,
The VH24 was originally optioned to fit the drum brakes, the VH 44 is a much improved unit for the drum brakes and the VH 40 is for disc brakes, so essentially you are correct, the VH 44 is the unit that you require. keith F4+ ;) |
