CaMpylobacter Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 you can get some off me if you bring a container. how much do you need? I'm cheaper than the shops. I milk it from my teat/have a 20litre container of the shit. where are you and when do you need it? alternatively Adlams in Taranaki St in town, or Amsterdam Autos in Bridge St lower Hutt charge $25 a litre for it. I don't think the Citroen dealer even carries it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I just tried putting in a quick call to GT (the dealer) since they're on my speed dial, but I couldn't be arsed waiting on hold. If you do want to try them later, it's 3813001 for the parts' department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Its not that cheap from Cam - I had to blow him for my last 4litres and my mouth got real sore... actually Cam is most probably the cheapest LHM hookup/dealer in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feathersword Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Haha yeah well I'm only needing some to top up the BX I got off Borgweiser. How much do the systems take? How much you charge per litre? Also, what kinda container would work? Fine to bring old coke bottles or similar haha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The resevoir will take around 2 litres from the light coming on.. (about 6 litres from dry IIRC) PS - you check you have the correct level by putting it on up bumps and the orange float should between the 2 red lines on the level indicator...

feathersword Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 The STOP light I assume you are refering to? The light is on but goes on and off when going over bumps etc so would assume I need a couple of litres in that case? Will look tonight at where the float is..

keltik Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Apologies for the intrusion here, but if you buy 20L at a time....where does it go? Does it leak out and end up all over the road/undercarriage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I lost about 8 litres over 4 months through the LH inner guard cos a return line cracked. I was too slack at fixing it and kept jimmying it up.. I really need to go for a hoon and drive over plenty of to coat my undercarriage and mop up all the spilt LHM...

CaMpylobacter Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 sometimes. sometimes it's required for a change (you're meant to change it every X amount of kilometres, and/or years), but mostly it's topped up due to leaks. since most of the people I know that have LHM'd Citroens, own aging ones, leaks are more likely. Mine sprung a leak for no good reason that I can understand, recently, other than the fact that I'd driven it down a rugged driveway in the country and across a short amount of paddock (may or may not have been on bumps for some of it) which tore a suspension boot. I never noticed until I got to otaki, losing about 2-3litres. degrading rubber lines and other random stuff can cause small leakages. many people never check the levels, either so most cars are running 'low' on the stuff. I never need to top my D up unless it springs a leak. even though all the rubber parts are new you still get the odd one for whatever reason. my front bumpstops are so smooshed that the front boots turn right inside out and rip. i should really import some bumpstops/nah. I park it in the shed with a couple of bricks under the front jacking points now. bumps are for chumps. I get a 20 litre coz 1 litre bottles are a pain in the arse to deal with, plus everytime I need a bit, when I/someone needs some in the weekend, nobody has any and it's a cunt. Usually i get another bottle of it when I get down to like 5 litres. I even sell it to my WOF guy now and then for one of his tractors that has LHM cab suspension (i think) and LHM powered brakes. if he buys it througha tractor place it's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and nobody in feilding holds lhm outside of tractor outfits. Leaks are usually in the low pressure return line side rather than high pressure. most cars are spaghetti as shit so there's a lot of places leaks can start. mean tl;dr? yes, leaks, and bulk = economy. supply and command. not rocket appliances. etcetc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
