My experience with MGC's is over ten years old, but here it is for what it's
worth. Rebuilt remote brake servos last for about three months and new ones
last about a year. At the time, the rebuild kits were $100 and new servos
were $300. People who got fed up with the expense went to Volvo P1800 remote
brake servos which look very similar and have a tendency to work right out of
the junkyard.

What humor? We're serious. It's our cars that are silly.
