What year is your XJ40 ? AFAIK early cars didn't use a conventional vacuum booster, but something else called a brake pressure accumulator. However, I don't know how or what it "accumulated". Later cars were conventionally boosted, of course. Normally a vacuum pipe runs from somewhere on the inlet manifold to the brake servo.
