what happened? did the aluminium part of the pipe rupture due to bouncing against a bracket?
This is exactly what happened on my mk1 172 last year
I got a hydraulic manufacturing place to make me up a pipe for 80 pounds
After all that...the replacement speedo sensor was also faulty!
Now...anyone have any ideas how i can QUICKLY run the mileage up from 50,000km to 100,000km???
