What is this and why do people remove it? and what does it do, and it looks ugly.

[Steve Burnett]

You sure you have the right thing circled?

[Col]

[MillSpeed]

Are you havin a laugh?

[Col]

Are you havin a laugh?

No mate sorry I am not very technical, I have just seen cars without them, I am guessing and you may laugh at steering??? Sorry if I seem stupid.

[Sy.]

i thought you were circling the res bottle with the essental brake fluids in .

[MillSpeed]

Sorry fella, only joshing! That\'s your brake servo, it magnifies the pressure you apply to the brake pedal using the vacuum genenrated by the engine when the throttle\'s closed. You defo wouldn\'t want to remove that.

[memski]

Maybe you\'ve been looking at some yank LHD cars but you don\'t want to remove that fella  :p

[BlitzBoy]

yeah braking maybe a bit difficult without it !!!!!

[antnicuk]

but just for a laugh and so you know what it does,  pull the rubber hose off that goes to you engine and then go for a very slow drive down the road,  you will learn that vacume assistance on your brakes is a good thing......

[Col]

Ok so it is quite important then!!!

 I will now stop asking silly questions, but at least it made poeple laugh

[MillSpeed]

Ah it\'s all good, we\'ve all gotta start somewhere! Seriously though, the FD engine bay must terrify you. I still feel a slight rush of panic every time I open the bonnet, so.....many......pipes.....argh!
