A recent search for a brake servo for my Rickman (Escort mk2 based) has come up with a Land Rover item which I'm confident will be a good replacement. Whilst searching I found other servos and master cylinders from the Land Rover range which look as though they could be simple (and relatively low cost) swaps for the Fiesta items! In particular the later (small) master cylinder looks as though it could be replaced with the Discovery one. Unfortunately getting accurate (or indeed any) dimensions off the stockists is the usual 'dead end' one expects, and on requesting the centre-centre dimension of 2 fixing bolts I was told "I've got one in front of me, but my Manager says we don't have a measuring device." Fortunately I was able to find an old reference on the 'net which gave the info I needed. Hopefully (with old Fords becoming collector's items) we may find it easier to get some parts which have been discontinued, but it's certainly helpful to find other vehicles with a huge spares availability - An MGB alternator is the same as a some old Ford ones for instance. I'm not surprised at some commonality to other vehicle makes, as the parts suppliers will sell the same or very similar parts to whoever they can as it's easier/cheaper for them to do that - It's just finding them. Sometimes the same part can have different part numbers when fitted to more than one model in the same manufacturers catalogue! Martin
