Spray some PB Blaster in to the vacuum hose from engine to the brake booster. There is a ball check inside the rubber hose. Remove the plastic end on the booster and remove it from the hose, and look inside the end of the hose. It has a ball check, and moisture makes it stick to prevent vacuum in the booster.
Good Luck, Spokes.

Try adjusting the hand brake to loosen it up some. Also, in my Capri XR2, the rear caliper pins rusted up and froze the caliper, so try cleaning up all the caliper sliding pins.
Hope this helps you out, Chris Marino.

I too have recently purchased a 91 XR2. 97,000 miles on it with 1 owner prior. I have receipts from coolant system upgrades... hoses, flush etc. But am considering dropping a lower temp thermostat in, as mine runs just below the red at idle. Is this the reason you did yours, and have there been any problems with the engine since?
