Done quite a bit of work on it; cam belt, oil, coolant, air filter, my mod of hydraulic returns, repaired degasser tank, rear strut collar, rear height regulator outer seal, activa plastic bushes, new radiator, brakes bleed...
Still work to be done but now at least it's a runner
But how does it ride ???!

It rides absolutely perfect! I'm surprised that it rides better (hydraulically) than my TD (non-HA).
Well I have checked and it's definitely the heater matrix as the floor on the co-driver side is all damp and coolant is missing... Not a hard job this heater matrix change I believe

All the best with fitting the new radiator Hans.. It's not difficult and it is a blessing the hoses do not use the horrid bayonet connectors as on the TCT!
I look forward to hearing about your progress
As far as I know front and rear spheres are not interchangeable between TCT and an V6 (the pressure is little different according to the I.F.H.S. catalogue). However front and rear regulator, accumulator and anti-roll spheres are interchangeable.
Re-gas jig:
So the same filling technique as factory original spheres with screw-in plug.
Bit of an engineering challenge to achieve a gas seal around the plug-tightening rod. Did it work?
Valprex valves do allow re-gassing of spheres still on the car, which can be useful.
