These brake boosters or servos are as simple as a buck saw there will be rebuilds available in UK at your corner store all that goes wrong is the diaphram fails and that is all that is required to fix it
The worst part of the job is wrestling the windscreen wiper assy out of the way to remove the booster

I have rebuilt them in my garage
There are no surprises only a big spring with a couple pounds of pressure You can see where the 2 halves are crimped together uncrimp with a screw drivewr and hold together with a clamp while recrimping

I think you need to buy a new servo, it is not worth putting second hand
on,as that is your life u are playing with,
