The 400 has been off the road as My power rack started leaking, well gushing.

After some trials found the problem the seal around the shaft.

Many phone calls, some "yea mate we give a 2 year......me "stop there, how much, Fu3k thats double whats the car is worth!" to finding a great down to earth hydraulic services at Wolverhampton JAY GEE's.
The rack fully serviced with new seals £120 plus vat.

It's back on and ready for the rust nail run,(i only have to re-paint, new hood, replace the camshaft, tune up, maybe not i like having the scruffest 400 on the road) laugh






the low presure hose needed replacing

Garage where I get mine serviced did the same (cannot do sod all on my drive and micro garage), £70 odd 5 or 6 years ago so that is not too bad. When first told, I thought "oh god, time to sell my body" but reassured the old skills are still out there if you know where to look.
