Will get a photo in the next couple of days.

The pump will be available in a week or two after I use it to de-pressurise the suspension on my F ready for breaking.

The model is the same as the one pictured here but is white (ish) and is used not new. Perfect working order. I bought this off Andy the tyre man just over a year ago. He had fitted new seals to it just before selling it to me.



Quite heavy and large so postage will be expensive. I can get a quote for a courier if you can't pick it up yourself.

New these pumps cost £670

Paul,

What's the situation with the pump please? I thought we'd agreed a deal.

I've had no response from Paul/PQD44 to either this thread or by PM. He doesn't seem to have responded either to a question on the parts for sale thread nor to a couple of PMs from me before Christmas and before the site was refreshed - I hope everything is OK with him -does anyone have any news?

Thanks,

Richard

Does anyone know if Liquid Levers are still in business? I have tried emailing them (at least twice) and even phoning.

I have their pump with vacuum facility that I purchased some ten years ago. Seems like the pressure gauge is faulty as the pump is clearly generating pressure in the system but I have no clue what the liquid side pressure is.

I am sure a replacement gauge can be sourced state side. It would be nice to have a diagram of how the unit comes apart though.

Have just installed a set of refurbished spheres on N31SPB from Rimmer Bros and so far am pleased with the results.

Given that you have renewed spheres, you can just pump to the correct ride height.

True. The rear is about right at ~365mm. The front a little higher. I have cycled the suspension a couple of times by letting the car sit on the lift locks, then lowering and jouncing the suspension.

However, I need to have the equipment functioning properly so go back to the original questions. I can likely figure it out without liquid levers but would be nice to know how it comes apart. From what I can tell the bottom cover comes off?

My pump is a different brand (Alba Diagnostics), so I don't know how your pump is laid out, but if it's anything like mine the gauge will be generic and you should be able to get one from an industrial instrument supplier.

I can't help you with "how to pull it apart"

Here are pix of mine:
Not that it helps you much, as It's different to all the others I've seen.

It's made in Scotland
