If the pressure regulator was leaking to the point the system pressure was low, it would lose all the fluid very quickly.

The elecrovalves are the solenoids that control the stiffness regulators for the centre spheres. Spend a bit of time reviewing the videos and information in the thread viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10291

Also I've been sorting the locking issue and thought I'd try for this remote receiver but I can't find anywhere to actually plug it in Image
Also the infrared bit isn't actually plugged into anything?

The grey box is a central locking unit, the remote receiver is in the centre of the roof console, with the orange wires leading to it.
Is that a Citroen Kiekert box, it looks like a Jaguar one.

The leak from the pressure regulator base is just a small weep, certainly not enough to cause a pressure issue.

Is that what I need for the plip to work? Where do I plug it in?
A quick search of the part online come up with a citroën/peugeot Central control unit so I'd say definitely not jag

&& Well that's one thing then, I think I'll still get the three o rings for it and sort the leak so that's at least one issue sorted

When I was sorting bit on the car today I found that about half the time the I turned the engine off the front of the car would instantly sink to the floor

Plus side I managed to sort and find out where a few issues lie.
I managed to get the door handle sitting flush so it'll lock and unlock the doors properly, where the previous owner had changed the handle for some reason he didn't hook the metal return spring bit into the handle so it was pushing it out
I got the locking buttons out of the two rear doors and now one of them with lock with the rest of the car but the other side I can see a slight movement in the rod when the cars locked and unlocked but not enough to actually lock/unlock the door itself, but if I got some long nose pliers and physically pushed it up or down it would, so that one's a bit of a head scratcher
Also I tried putting the locking buttons back on the doors but I can't get them to lock onto the rod? I'll push the tab and move it to the right position then press it on but it'll still just pop off if I push it back up


I've also found out what the rattle from the exhaust was, the metal ring/coupler that goes in-between the rear mufflers is shaking in between the two joiners making the awful sound, so that'll be an easy fix


Have also notice a horrendous oil leak, looks like the sump gasket has gone and just pours oil from where the pan goes on the block, once again looks like a pretty easy fix putting a new gasket on

Then in noticing that I saw the condition of the rear lower mount and I have to say it's probably the worst condition mount I've ever seen, how on early they passed it as an advisory on its last MOT I'll never know Image it's hard to see in th first picture and I didn't get a very good picture of the other side but you can see the entire thing has blown out the side Image so I'll also order a new one of those to be pressed in

Then to add to more confusion with unplugged bits I found this plug hanging over one of the lines from the front pressure regulator, don't have a clue what it is or where it goes Image

And another one behind the front driver side wheel just hanging over the driveshaft, looks like the connector has been cut off and taped up. Once again I'm unsure of what is was supposed to be for and why it's in this condition Image
