Hi Eric.
As has been said a servo will neither enhance your braking nor reduce
squeal.
Cannot quite understand your comment 'WHEN I BRAKE LIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS
AND THEREFORE HAVE LITTLE PRESSURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM".
The standard non servo brakes have the same stopping ability regardless
of what speed you are travelling at.
There is no pressure in the braking system at any speed unless you
press the brake pedal.
Pressing the pedal actuates the hydraulic system, introducing the the
pressure, and sending it to the brakes.
You can easily alter the pressure and thus the braking by changing the
pressure on the pedal.
In fact the non servo brakes are far easier to apply and adjust than
some of the modern systems with all their electronic aids.
A car I used to run had great brakes, servo and ABS as all cars have to
have, however it also had another system as well, brake assist, if this
took over the car stood on its nose, a very fine point between full
braking and this system coming in.
I suggest you try putting more pressure on the pedal after all if
Morgans thought a servo was needed they would have fitted one on the
production line.

Hi David
I bought the car last year, so I do not know if the problem was there
before the brakes were changed.
I've had the brakes apart and the pistons in the cliperns works
perfect.
I have modified the brake pads as I described in my reply to Andy.
(Please read this)
I have the problem when I brake light at low speeds, and therefore have
a little pressure in the braking system, it is to avoid this that I
will put a servo in.
Of course I can just press harder, but it's just not natural driving.
Thanks for your comments
Regards
Erik
