    You'll probably need to get a vacuum gauge and check.
    460cixy checked and tested a pump for me last week just so I knew what vacuum to look for on mine and it surprised us both by pulling 24" at idle.

    Also have a really good look around the booster where the m/c bolts on, and with the engine running listen for any hisses.

    Get someone to jump on the brake pedal HARD and look for deflection where the m/c bolts on at the booster.
    This will indicate a crack too.

    Ok - have found hairline cracks in the servo. Looks like the problem has been identified.
    Thanks everyone for your help!

    Really, really common.

    Make sure you buy a TRW (genuine manufacturer) version, there are other aftermarket ones around that aren't worth a pinch of the proverbial.
    One of the members here posted a video of a cheap one he bought and the flex at the M/C had to be seen to be believed.

    Just to bring the thread to completion - I put in the new servo and braking is 100times better. Thanks all
