Haven't posted for a while, not that I've posted much, though I have kept up with whats new. Anyway, I'm babbling, so to the point. Having just fitted one of Davy's pedal pots & brought to an immediate end years of throttle frustration (Thank you Davy) my brakes failed & I narrowly avoided a nasty one. (Thanks 3200, I rather naively imagined you might work without fault for more than two consecutive days) Having limped back home I found the brake reservoir empty, refilled, started the engine pressed the pedal & obtained two lovely brake fluid jets from the front of the ABS hydraulic unit. I have attached a picture of the unit. It is a Bosch 383800316. Now I know the ECU side of this unit is suspect but here this is not the problem. The fluid is escaping from behind the two plastic blanks in the picture which in my car are no longer there. Anyone any experience of this? Could it be the blanks are just seals for alternative break line outlets sealed internally question which could be blanked off again? If not, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could get the unit refurbished . New ones from Eurospares are several thousand pounds. Oh & my 4200 continues to work without fault ( Thanks 4200).
