I had it rebuilt and it bloody failed (again!) and I was heading towards a T junction at 80kmh with a rock hard brake pedal that suddenly started working as I was about to reef the handbrake on. the second time I was in a carpark and some idiot walked infront of my car (as you do) and I almost ran the guy over but he was understanding when I said my brakes stopped working lol!

I'd be sourcing a whole new unit. I priced one at ford for my old BF about 5 years ago. Pretty sure it was close to $1500 for the booster and master cylinder.
