The problems are mounting up and I need to get them sorted. Any help much appreciated.
- Brake problem. When I turn the engine off a hissing noise is heard from the brake servo, lasting about 3 seconds. It is not coming from the pipe. Must be a servo problem - but do I need a whole new servo or just a seal kit (if available)? Brakes work fine, pedal sinks when engine is started, but I am worried hissing noise will get worse and brakes will fail altogether.
- Electrical problem. Something to do with an earth or bad contact. Alternator light permanently on, faintly. (Battery seems to be charging fine). Brake lights don't work, but when I put foot on brake pedal, alternator light illuminates to full brightness. Also when I put handbrake on, handbrake light lights up, and alternator light also illuminates to full brightness. Dashboard looking like a Christmas tree at the moment. I am hoping someone else has seen this and knows which connection to check.
- Transmission problem. Strange "WuWuWuWuWu" noise issuing from transmission, gets worse as I turn corners. Not traditional "Click Click Click" noise associated with worn CV joint. Noise seems to be in time with wheel revolution and doesn't seem to be connected with gearbox - happens in neutral, clutch in/out, and irrespective of engine speed.
Thank you for any help or advice.
