Their response in full:
"Hello Mike,
I am sorry Mr. Edwards has had trouble with one of our boosters. When we sell product overseas, it can be difficult to warranty items because of the high cost associated with shipping them back. We need to be able to test the product and with the cost to ship parts back and forth, that just simply is not feasible. In most cases when we sell overseas, we do not extend a guarantee because of this. I appreciate the fact that he went to the trouble to make a video and show the issues that he is having and I can feel confident that what there are indeed issues with the booster, and with that, I have no problem sending you a replacement with your next order.
Sincerely,
Steve Brown
Sales Director"
I think that is as good and quick a response as we could have wished for.
It is a shame for Peter that he is the one to get a faulty servo. Sorry Peter!
But we will get it resolved to your complete satisfaction.

A quick update on my brake servo issue. I collected a replacement servo from Mike at the Stoneleigh show. (Actually, it is John's servo and he will get the replacement servo from MBM with the next batch of orders).
I've now finished re-installing it and I can report that everything is working as expected with no issues.
I've only had time for a short test drive just to make sure every was OK after bleeding the brake system.
Result - High performance brakes (as expected!) and no issue with the rear drum brakes. After the run, I stopped my car facing up hill and I could tell the brakes were not binding as the car would immediately roll backwards when the brake pedal was released.
Thanks again to both Mike for sorting out a repalcement from MBM and to John for letting me have his unit.
Thanks guys.
