My rear ARB is leaking and i have been told it needs to be replaced. I seam to remember reading somewhere that it sometimes can be fixed by replacing the O-Ring. Is that correct and does anybody know if this is a kit and the partnumber?

I have a, not to good, picture of the leak: http://s17.postimage.org/fzxtn2y6n/IMAG0181.jpg

Hi Paddi

Yes and no - i've read that thread, but I don't know if it is the o-ring on mine or the ARB that needs changing.

Have a trawl through Bobby's gallery: http://rrsport.co.uk/gallery/index.php?cat=10024 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

In order to correctly diagnose the leak path on a stabilizer bar, clean the suspected area thoroughly and confirm if
the leak is from the pipe o-rings, the stabilizer bar hydraulic seal or somewhere else. If found to be from the
pipe o-rings.... like here..

No problems.

Would have responded to this sooner, only thing is that I was in the UK at that time! Was raining, in addition to being cold!!

Took the Eurostar to Paris on 14th... and back home now.

Cheers!!

Does anybody know the torque of this two little bolts on the picture above?

Hi Bobby

Thank you and sorry for the late reply.

It looked like it is just "sweating" so I had it cleaned up, but can not see where it is coming from - and no faults in the dashboard - so I will leave it for now. RRS TDV8 HSE in Stornoway Grey/Alpaca/Rhodium/Multimedia/Privacy Glass

... these are serviceable parts and should be replaced.
If the leak is found to be from the hydraulic seal, this is not a serviceable part and a new stabilizer bar will be
required.
