Failed main high pressure line
Posted: 06 May 2014
In September 2013, on returning from a trip to the tip, i noticed steam coming out from under the bonnet. Turns out the car was oiling its internals with very high pressure hydraulic fluid.
This pipe has had some serious abuse at its gone from one engine to another, so hardly a surprise to find it had fractured on a bend.
New one ordered from Pleides and a spare from Kitch to use as a template and i'm back up and running!
Somewhere in there is the damn pipe
New, ruptured, template
Bit damp under there. Poor precious LHM, oh well dont need to do a fluid change now!
Took the opportunity to swap out the old oil pipes for silicon ones from Baker BM
Not the greatest access. I might add that i have significant changed the garage layout since this incident!
