408 breaks
Quote from Coen Rupert on 7 November 2019, 11:47I recently bought a 408 in good condition , but with bad breaks . The servo is not working and should be replaced . There is a vacuum hose directly from the manifold to the vacuum tank and from the tank to the servo , but also a small hose from the servo connection , disappearing under the dash .does anyone know what it's function is?

Quote from Coen Rupert on 8 November 2019, 14:10I found a trico bottle on the internet , so that problem is solved .
In the engine bay there is another small hose connected high on the bulkhead to a connector on the driver side which has been cut off . I can’t find in the manual the function . Suggestions ?

Sorry not familiar with the 408 but on cars using a vacuum system for screen washers a small tube usually has to go from washer bottle pump via a press button switch switch on the dash and chrome button with trico on it then to the vac servo or manifold. Keith
