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
