Firstly Happy New to Everyone.
As the weather is still very mild in Gloucestershire I was hoping to take the Roadster out for spin. However as I manoeuvred the car out of the garage I realised I had no break pedal. I checked the brake fluid reserviour to find that the level had dropped right down.
I investigated for any leaks but didn't find any obvious signs of leaking. So in discussion with my brother in law, who is much more knowledgeable than I am, he suggested I check the servo by removing the pipe that comes in from the inlet manifold and see if I could feel any brake fluid in the servo. Well I did this and there was brake fluid in the servo.
I have started looking around for a new servo and this is the reason for this post. I have read some of the previous posts about this topic. My understanding is the one in my car might be a Girling Powerstop? Also that when these were no longer available these units were replaced by Lockheed units?
Anyway my question is, what would be a good replacement for my servo. When looking on ebay there seems to be different ratios that seem to range from 3:1 -1:9? I am assuming this is the added force that is applied to the braking effort of the pedal.

I did find a tag on my servo that had the following info on:
257 792 7
910-C34
On the other side it has the number 92.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
