Jon has been working on our 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 2+2 in red, stripping out the old brake servo and fitting a new unit. He secured the brackets and pipework, installed a new servo hose, and topped up the reservoir. The brake system was then bled, starting with the front brakes and moving to the rears, but while the fronts bled correctly, no fluid came through to the rear. He also attempted the process with the engine running, but without success. It may be necessary to pressure bleed the system next week to resolve the issue.
