Does anyone know how to go about checking that your brake servo is working as it should be? Is there anyway of checking the vacuum it?

you will need to pump the brake pedal a few times with the engine off to get rid of any vacuum in the the servo . now press your foot on the brake pedal and hold pressure on it as you start the car , you should feel the pedal drop a bit as the vacuum builds . if it does not you may have a vac leak or servo problem
