Hello can someone more knowledgeable than me please advise what the girling part number is for a servo repair kit for an S3 SE?

Thanks

It's my understanding that you cannot repair a Girling servo - only a Lockheed. Others may have different information.

They can be repaired, but there is an issue with the leather seal and plunger on the Mk 2A servo, as fitted to the S3....they are hard to find, often knackered and not part of the kit.

However, getting a kit to overhaul the hydraulic side isn't a problem...try this guy on eBay:

And if you want to know more about the Girling servo, have a look at the Girling Servo pdf (2 off) on this site:

Thanks for postings and PMs, I snapped up this one on ebay

Have previously rebuilt a Mk2B, pretty straighforward (but the price of kits is way over the top!). This one for Mk2A is a relative bargain!
