The only time I have ever heard of any warning of brake servo failure was on a Ford. Copious quantities of white smoke from the exhaust when brake fluid was drawn into the engine via the vacuum pipe to the inlet manifold. Whether this might happen on any brake servo failure probably depends on the d...

Hi David. I can't answer all your questions but can offer the following from my experience: My 72 BGT has the single line remote servo, always worked fine and not had any attention. I do change brake fluid regularly which may have helped it's longevity. This kind of servo (on the opposite side of th...
