Help on holiday in Cornwall burst AHC pipe (1 Viewer)

[Kieron]

Hi all I’m on the north coast of Cornwall on holiday and I’ve got a burst AHC pipe somewhere, my reservoir is empty
Is there anyone out there that could help or recommend a garage
not an easy situation at this time of year, not to mention having our dog and wife with me.
Thanks in advance

Chances it’ll be in the rear . You’d be best going on facebook Toyota landcruiser uk

Thanks for that
i got it into a local garage who were keen to fix it.
i sourced the fluid and both rear hoses etc to only get the call this morning saying it’s too involved for them I’d need a specialist as to get to the top of the shock absorbers on the rear they need to remove a load of other stuff
is there a short cut for all of this ?
I read somewhere where a guy lifted his carpet in the back cut a hole gained access fitted a grommet to the hole job done
Apparently there is a cheat sheet somewhere on the Forum as to the size of holes to cut and where etc on this site but I can’t find it anywhere

Any ideas or it’s a relay home in 4 days and get it sorted there
Just called my usual 4x4 garage and they declined the work as it’s too big a job. What’s happening in the world ??

Not sure about AHC but could you sleeve the broken pipe with a hollow steel insert some silicon and circular clips?
