Well, I'm not surprised and anyway this is an interactive discussion site not just a reference manual on a shelf.MULLEY wrote:Totally forgot about that thread, but then again it was a few years ago
Most things that need to be said about a BX have been said before but if the interaction did not continue it's likely the site would cease to exist.
There have already been notable losses in information when important resources do not live on such as in the case of the Rob Smith Site.

Re: strut return pipe
In my experience the ball drops out of place and ends up on the LHM tank pipe and blocks it, we always checked for it when doing an LHM change and just chucked the ball away when we found one.

Re: Leak from front suspension - strut return pipe
Hi
Could someone please advise where best I go as Im sure enough to bet what in asking has been covered.
My problem is the 3 small tubes going into the lhm resevoir are perishing on the join and leak.
Believe they're low pressure but still needs doing.
Would this alot of work or is it relatively simple to just swap those pipes (one of them having the T junction
Thanks for reading

Re: Leak from front suspension - strut return pipe
I did a temporary repair to mine four or five years ago using some stuff called Sugru and some self-amalgamating rubber tape. No problems since...Richard811 wrote:Hi
