...and I hope to get it fitted very soon! Pity it'll likely never be seen again!

I never did the visit, we always said we would then a schoolboy closed the doors and that was that!

What is this thing, this pearl of great price, this Utopian jewel that will transform my Cerbera ownership?

Will leave you in suspense for a while - I've got a Pistonheads sticker here, free to the first correct answer hehe

Hay-Ling! I knew we should have put up some border control.

Well it's a nicely engineered bit of (Raceproved) kit, I thought.

Want a sticker? hehe

Red anodising will almost certainly make the car go faster...

You need to be quick if you want me to drag your Cerbera to have that fitted, Land Rover to be sold in the next few days.

Do these actually stop the leaking? I thought the problem was the heat in that area killing the seals, will it not do the same to this unit.

Of course adding more red bits to the car can only make it faster, as we all know red ones are the fastest after all!!!!!!

Thanks Ben, I think I'm sorted now. It's going somwehere pretty local, there's a guy offered his trailer and vehicle, or I may just bleed it one more time, and make a dash for it.

I've asked lots, and those that seem to have them fitted say they have had no more problems. I've got to try something as it's driving me nuts currently so hopefully my research will bear out the fact.

That could be a (admittedly rather large) cock ring for as much as I know about mechanical stuff.

There are many answers to this. Rather large though? Really?

Sorry to shift, albeit temporarily, the conversation to the technical side

BUT

I was talking to a Guy who "Knew all about these things" and he said that the seals blew (?!) because of the incompatibility (and therefore oxidisation) on the surfaces of the original unit (i.e. Steel and Alloy).

The all Alloy RP Unit, I was further told, removes this incompatibility and, therefore, seal degradation.

'Tis a thing of beauty though thumbup

p.s. The best Cock-ring I've ever found, by trhe way, is a Fanny
