I don't suppose anyone happens to have pictures or technical drawings for the internals of either the 996TT spoiler pump or the rams do they? Two reasons for asking:

1. I have a ram in bits (I didn't take it apart) and I'm wondering if a) it is complete and b) I can get it back together again.
2. I have two broken pumps.
- One is I am advised "completely knackered" from a hydraulic point of view but the motor is OK (according to the mechanic that has had it apart and then refitted it as we agreed not to replace just yet). This one is in the car, and right now I don't have the inclination to take it out, open it up and look at it.
- The other isn't mine so I'm reluctant to tamper with it whilst I can still return it for a refund, it appears this one only has one hydraulic chamber that has failed (I assume there are two, as this one will raise one side of the spoiler only).

If anyone has any pictures it would give me a way of getting my mind thinking about solutions from the comfort of my armchair before I get the spanners out later in the week.

No pics but there have been a few owners who have salavaged the Turbo spoiler pump/cylinders. If the cylinders are knackered they can be bought separately. I think the pump may be available separately too.

(When the spoiler system on my Turbo started leaking, not going up/down right, lighting a warning light/displaying a message I had the thing replaced with a new system.)
