Oddly enough the problem occured whilst driving.
And the driveability problems were more the engine revs rising (interesting
when in gear) or dropping (if cold) whilst braking. The brakes WORK.

Yes I do. It boosts the brakes so little old ladies can drive safely (:^)
just like power steering, another essential MG accessory.
Seriously the servo achieves little that you can't achieve by pressing (a lot)
harder, with the servo disconnected (and the manifold plugged) the car brakes
just like a pre-servo B. Of which I've driven several.
Perhaps we should ban all non-servo B's, everything without disk brakes,
everything with cable brakes? And everything that can exceed 55MPH.

Those aircraft accidents truly due to pilot error are sometimes caused by

like steering, suspension, engine-tuning that exceeds the capability of the
chassis, alcohol, drugs, guns....
