Thought we would do some leak investigations today...

So, got the car supported and prepared, and lowered the subframe on the passenger side:

The pipe in the middle of the above shot is actually a Nikcel Pipe... its just covered in crap!

Anyway, after a bit more rooting around, I found the offending item. Its NOT the electro valve, this time.. prehaps I should check it while theres no system pressure..

anyway...

Yes, the brown bit at the end of my finger, its rust. Its a pipe that goes from the hydractive block, of the two the lower one, which we can see, to a K valve just in forground which you can see the end of the pipe, its the nearer one. Bu theres soo much in the way I cant get at them to undo the unions. They have rusted to a smaller size head, and I couldn;t undo them..

The pipe is the one with a Wire In IT... Anyway, I abandond job as I wasn;t getting anywhere and thought, Id better not do half a job and I think Im gonna drop the whole subframe and examine the pipe more closly..

So thats all for now.. Bit more on wednesday afternoon..

Not too bad then, apart from getting the unions undone.
