Hydraulic tank replacement

[Jetjockey]

If hydraulic tank has cracked.

Is it available separately from the pump assembly, what would be the cost, and can it be fitted without removing the pump assembly?

Thank you.

Yes Gerald, it's available separately and is part: 4009V8.

Lower the vehicle to the low position.

Remove the nuts (1).

Tilt the LDS fluid reservoir onto its side.

When finished bleed the hydraulic circuit (introduce about 0.5 Bar pressure into the tank), raise to highest setting, then to the lowest setting, then turn the wheel lock to lock very slowly a few times, switch engine off and check LDS fluid is between 'a' & 'b' below:

Check no air bubbles or 'fizz', and repeat if otherwise, checking the level (always on the lowest setting).

Would you have a cost for the tank, and please don’t tell me it comes with a cap!
