I've picked myself up a Churchill 18G 703 suspension pump, don't suppose anyone has a set of instructions for one do they ?

Some pump info on www.mgfcar.de/pumps

Link may not work : type in search

Edit: 18G 703 seems to be a pump unit standard part number going back to BL days, for Maxis etc. indeed everything Brit made with strange liquid boingy boingy suspension.

There's a thing.

The Internet: once again: A Wondrous Thing.

This might help -

HYDROLASTIC PUMP 101

(SIMPLIFIED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS)




For those who have tried to make sense of how to operate one of these machines (essential if you need to pump up the hydrolastic suspension on one of the Front-wheel-drive Wolseleys, here's how to do it:

1) Connect the black line to the valve on the car, but DONT screw in the knob on the top of the connector until first checking the tap on the Left side of the pump (closest to the black line) is closed. Screw in knob on vehicle connection. This allows pressure to fill the line.

2) Open tap on the Left side of pump as above for a couple of seconds to bleed line of air. Tighten the tap and pump up the suspension to the specified height as per below.

3) To finish, release the knob on the valve on the car and then undo tap on the pump to let fluid left in the line back into pump unit. Retighten tap, release hose connection.

New hydrolastic fluid is still available - there is a seller on Trademe listing it nowadays.
