Me wrote: Went out to block off the vacuum from my swirl EV as I assumed that was the issue, but I noticed the vac outlet from the plastic container under the brake master cylinder has snapped off!
So none of my vacuum systems will be running. Which explains.... everything.
So has anyone got a working one lying around? or know if a standard 406 90/110bhp will have the same container?
Any advice on how to get it off would be nice too as it looks a pain in the **** to me..
Thanks!

They're not expensive from the dealers, can't remember exactly, but I'm fairly sure it was under a tenner.
I'll check servicepox if I get a chance this evening.

Re: WTD: HDI Vacuum Container
a bit pricier than I thought, but still not disastrous.......Reference Description Quantity Price - VAT Price + VAT Total + VAT Selection
0000162772 VACUUM RESERVE 16.00 GBP 19.20 GBP 19.20 GBP
Can't gaurantee this is the only version.
The other option is Ade the coupe breaker

Re: WTD: HDI Vacuum Container
Brought, installed, sorted!
Anyone coming across this -
Best way to replace is:
The plastic box is on a small metal bracket, this is held on by two nuts and should be visible by looking between the top of the plastic box and bottom of the brake fluid resovior.
There is no need to touch the brake system, just undo the two bolts (above the box) and disconnect any vacuum hoses from under the plastic box and try to wriggle it out.
The metal mount is attached to the box with a plastic push clip pin thing, remove this by poking the center of the pin upwards. Re-fit mount to new plastic box and re-install to car.... job done, no more engine light, plenty of power, moving swirl arm and better brakes!
Sorry this is a crap write-up. Feel free to PM if you have the same issue and need any info/etc.
