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.

i was  reading last night through the posts and i thought i came up with vh40 for disks and vh44 for drums
is this correct

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.
