Location: Northampton		Last week i posted that my suspension had blown out on the rear right, after fixing it all including buying a new rear unit from a scrappy and re-lowering all round i pumped it back up last night till i ran outa fluid, it was high enough to drive tho so i thought i was back on the road again.
So this mornin i picked up some more fluid and started pumpin up again to get enough height to put my 14's back on.
Did the left side - all good. Started the right side and i heard a hissing noise looked under there and it was the same unit i only just replaced, but i thought that can't be right so looked closer and saw that the pipe has given way where it goes above the unit, so it was that all along...

So basically i'm properly P****d off now so i'm wantin individualising asap. I know i can do the work myself but does anyone know where to get the valves from?
I guess matt p is my best bet for information, could sum1 pm me his mobile no.?

Ben...

Edit: a pic of wen it happened the first time...

For the back, you can use whats there, cut off the hose from the metal
connection pipe at the can, this bit will have the valve on, tap a thread
into the end of the pipe, (3 or 4mm), loctite a bolt or grubscrew into the end,
job done for the back.
For the front, get a pair of MGF front hydro pipes with the valves in, these units
are screwed to the hydro pipes at the front of the car,
where they are screwed into the pipes, cut the nut off.
you have a nice bit of pipe to tap and bolt/ seal and have a valve for the front.
I've done a few now and its p#ss to do.
