Les Henson Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Non return valve on the vaccuum pipe-to-servo playing up perhaps? Bit of sponge stuck to the brake pedal Bit of sponge stuck to your right shoe sole You get sporadic weakness in your right foot You press the clutch pedal by mistake I'd just check the first one if I was you Les.
