Thank you Guy, I think I understood it now, there is a rod attached to the vacuum membrane that links to the piston that makes pressure on to the wheels , that must have a small gap (I have a sketch that shows what it should be, I'll look tonight for it), I didn't change mine as I didn't want to change something I wasn't sure how to measure. The rod is adjustable, do you think I should try to shorten it?
I wouldn't shorten it to start with! I'd suggest getting some very thin washers and cutting them open into "C" shapes. The drive the car until the brakes bind. Then apply the handbrake! Slacken off the master cylinder from the servo and insert a pair of washers between the servo and master cylinder and tighten it up again. If that releases the pressure and allows you to drive the car immediately then carry on. If it binds again then insert a second washer. etc etc. If your problem is caused by this issue then you can identify how much you need to shorten the rod by quite easily - it's the thickness of however many washers you need to add. But I wouldn't just fix it with the washers and leave them there, I would shorten the rod and then reassemble!
Guy

The servo is remote.

Yes the servo on the flavia is remote, I've been using the car the last days trying for it to stick on again but with no results. I bled the system again to see if it changed anything but nothing happened. From what I've seen from online research this is a common problem with remote servos. Most of the time it's the air valve piston that gets stuck, removing the vacuum intake hose would confirm my problem I guess. If it doesn't stick again I'll do 3 thinks at the same time: - Replace all the vacuum hoses and clean the non-return valve. - Adjust the pushrod length as specified by the lancia book. - Grease the air valve piston and make sure its movement is totally free. I'll have a 3day 1500km tour on the beginning of May, it will be a good test. If the brakes stick on, if I remove the vacuum hose can I use the brakes safely? Thank you  |

Thank you Just a thought, have you checked to ensure the srvo hose hasn't collapsed internally? Might be worth changing it anyway. Brian 8227  |

Yes, That's the one. Brian 8227 Yes I'll replace them shortly, do you think they can be sticking the servo? It seems that since I opened the rear circuit to relieve the pressure the brakes did not stick again, and I'm using the car as a daily driver! |

I did hear that some Flavia owners had a jam jar and 8mm spanner in the car as insurance!

Just a caution on hoses - they need to be specified for vacuum. Heater hoses are not up to the job... Just in case you had been supplied with those....
I could never find the corrugated vacuum hose locally...

Thank you, I didn't find the corrugated hoses, although I would to prefer to maintain them for the original look, are they available? I asked for a hose for the servo of a car and the one they sold to me has written on it something like "high air pressure" (I cannot recall exactly), does it seem appropriate? Ricardo |

If it is low air pressure ie vacuum should be ok. In my experience (limited) hi pressure does not stop a collapse under vacuum. Fit and keep an eye on them....

Thank you for the advice, I'll confirm if it's high of low pressure, the hose seemed tough and not likely to collapse, but I'll definitely check! Ricardo Ricardo
