Diagnosed it as me possibly wrecking the seal on the servo or not getting it back together properly as i did struggle quite bad in such a tight space. My good mate Glen had a spare servo handy so i made the decision to strip off the back of the engine and do all i can to get the car ready.
I took apart the replacement servo and got it back together much faster with it being off the car then started to take everything off

Everything off, replacement servo fitted and the new MC and pipes back on. I decided not to refit the inlet manifold until i knew there were no more issues….
Shock again i had issues, exactly the same as before unable to bleed the system!! At this point i knew i couldnt make knockhill so left everything as is and went home feeling drained for possibly the first time since building this car

Glen wanted to help me solve the problem that nobody could give me an explanation for so we returned the following night and it took a bit of time to figure it out.
Now ive always used 4 ports from the original MC, 2 of which would feed the fronts and the other 2 would go into a TEE piece at the bulkhead. A single pipe from this TEE runs through the inside of the car to a TEE piece near the fuel tank which then splits to each rear.
The car would gravity bleed no problem, but simply would not bleed using a one man bleed kit or doing it manually. Glen suggested blanking the rears off at the TEE piece near the bulkhead and at first pump of the brake pedal i seen a change in the fluid! After that nothing so we decided to blank these ports off at the MC
As soon as we done this it was like night and day, every pump of the pedal we got air and fluid out the bleed nipple, i dont know if there was an airlock when all the pipes were fitted but i was so glad to see a massive change.
I called matt humphris the next day just to get a bit of advice and even he doesnt see why ive had the problems ive had but he suggests using a single pipe from the MC (blank the other) and to run it through a bias valve inside the car.
Although i missed the knockhill track session i was just glad to get over this hurdle, ive not had time to get any further with it but ive got all the parts i need to get the car back together and have book another session at knockhill for the 9th of october!
Hopefully make it this time ??
