NS and OS suspension pipes excessively corroded
Centre front fluid suspension supply pipe insecure
No movement in suspension - spheres need regassing? (did think it was a bit solid when I drove it)
Brake hoses need replacing all round probably.
Accumulator pump leaking, but this has been fixed by tightening the HP pipe.
OSF CV boot
Downpipe has a significant blow (oh dear)
Fuel pipe has leak at tank end.
Rear discs excessively etc (ordering these today)
Rear brakes recording little or no effort (not sure what's going on there; a good session of Hydraflush is probably the first thing to try).
I'll have to go and recover it soon, then look into these bits. Good thing is, no mention of rust. So I reckon if I can get on the case quickly, I can keep ahead of it (says Rob optimistically, having still not seen the car in daylight

£54.85 damage so far, more to come doubtless. Onwards!
So I am contemplating getting into the piping side of things, have spoken to Pleiades and costs are as follows:
Tool £127.
4.5mm pipe is £3.30/m (and comes on a 15m roll)
3.5mm pipe is £2.90/m (and comes on a 10m roll)
3.5 fittings 55p, seals 20p
4.5 fittings 55p, seals 25p
4.5 couplers & 3.5 couplers £4.
All plus VAT.
However, they are completely out of 4.5mm fittings with no prospect of getting any more unless they do a run of 20,000 plus (which they aren't going to). So start stockpiling 4.5mm fittings now...
