Turbo RL tidy up.

Posted some photos on "Show us your classic" on pages 234/235 of my 96RL getting the usual suspect bits sorted for another 15 years. Bilt Hamber cavity wax and underbody also applied.

I didn't actually do it myself - I used to do all my own restoration work- but worked closely with my local body shop. He is now a convert to Bilt Hamber products after 30 years of others.

Economics now dictate it's better for me to work then sub out jobs that are too time consuming for me.

It's a 96 with electronic fuel injection and 4 speed. It makes 14 mpg on daily driving / commute but on a longer run can be almost bearable! The older carbed ones were around the 11 mpg mark.

Went to move the old gal for use again after being tucked up. Funny whirring noise on start up. Funny pool of red fluid on the deck. The power steering pipe down the N/S chassis leg has a pinhole.
The pipe is around 60 cm 3/8" steel with a swivel fitting on one end, so I thought I'd order one from the suppliers as it can't be too expensive... £195

Took old pipe to local hydraulic supplier to make me one up... £35

Now happily back on the road.

(The swivel fitting is an Aircon type fitting, not usual hydraulic olive type)
