It turned out that having purchased the bits to repair the rear ram, the big leak at the back was actually coming from the disintegrated four-way return connector above the ram, so that was an easy fix and my ram remains stock (and still gently seeping) for now. However, on the way to the MOT station with the rear return harness repaired, nicely repaired sills and a shiny new offside track rod-end, the return harness that takes in the flow from the main pressure regulator let go, gushing LHM all over the test station floor while the system was up to pressure.
View under the airbox is like this:
The leak is somewhere in that bit of sheathing circled in yellow, but I really don't want to patch up this brittle bit of 24 yr old rubber again, I want to get this whole harness out and remake it...
I know I'll be making my own harness from fuel hose and t-pieces, because I'm pretty sure they were unavailable when I made a temporary repair to that same harness five years ago (that's still holding up just fine!). But before I start pulling things apart, can anyone give me a steer as to what else connects to that same harness? To get that whole harness out do I need to get to things under the car as well as bits that are accessible from in the engine bay?
Annoyingly I was using my usual MOT station near where I work, not near home, and my recovery service refused to recover me because the car didn't have a valid MOT (despite the fact that it was being legally driven to and from a pre-booked test) so I ended up just having to drive it home. 40 miles at about 25mpg LHM consumption, in case you were wondering...
