    Testing The 300tdi Vac Pump And Larger Servo Notes

    Join Mike in the workshop as he tackles a stubborn piston pump that’s impossible to press by hand.

The experiment takes an interesting turn when he introduces a vacuum pump to the system while it's under load. Later, Mike offers his unfiltered thoughts on why this specific engineering design might be flawed and gives a tour of the custom double brake booster setup on his own Land Rover 130.
