Either your servo is gone(holed) or your pump/pipes for it.
Just works on a vacuum pump driven off engine, or back of alternator to supply vaccum to servo, as diesel has no throttle valve so does not develope vacuum.

Glad to help matey, I suppose it is another one you have to pay for though, to get in the 24 hr one.
Dave Walker(emerald) had a notice up in his workshop about it but I forgot about it, he may even be racing with karl etc ?
