That is Jim's opinion too!

Whilst the rear is being dropped to accommodate the pipework, I going to have new rear spheres fitted. Fronts will follow in due course when funds allow. Although Pleiades spheres are not the cheapest, it seemed sensible to order them at the same time so that the work will not be held up.

AHHH, snap. I'm planning on getting the rears done too. All of them are up for replacement, four years old now, but to me, the back is the worst.

Hi Rob

Is there an anti-sink sphere as well?
If so it is on the top one end of the subframe.
Very easy to do while dropped, hard work otherwise.

Whilst driving, yes, totally agree. But the Xantia only needs to be sitting idling, and it sounds wonderful....

The PRV 24v sounds pretty good idling too Russ!! I am not sure about the Xantia, but the XM ESJ is hardly audible when ticking over, that is also quite impressive I guess. Regards, Matthew T.

That is good news Rob and I have always found Pleiades to be very helpful and efficient. Do let us know how you get on with the fitting. With regards, Matthew T.

Well vast sums of money have been spent and lots of new pipes are in place along with the four rear spheres. However, it doesn't stop there... there is a leak from the pressure regulator, but exactly where from I am not sure. Are regulators available to purchase either new or reconditioned does anyone know, and if so how much?

Hi Rob,
Ring Plaides, Martin replaced my regulator a couple of years ago for a refurbished unit.
