Early and frosty start this morning when we left our hotel in Slough to travel to Wokingham where we carried out the fitment of a rehosed front Hydrolastic unit to a Riley Elf, these are guaranteed to be a challenging job and challenging it was! We carefully worked our way through it and it wasn’t too long before the suspension was up where it should be again. We’ve taken the original unit away and will examine it in our workshop, it was showing signs of slow leakage with the top of the unit full of fluid, we’re hoping it’s the hose or ferrule causing it. We then travelled to a breakers yard half a mile away where the customer had kindly informed us they had an MGF in, the Hydragas units were soon removed, it helps keeps our stocks up. The final job was nearby where we went to look at a Riley Elf the same colour as we had previously worked on, this was a garage find where it had stood for around 20 years, all it needed was a pump up and this was soon completed
