Thread: D2 Ace lines

I can't answer your specific question about replacing the rigid pipe with flexible hose but the rigid pipes cannot be replaced normally. They are installed at the factory at build as one section and LR supply replacements parts as multiple sections.

I suppose if you were taking the body off etc you may.

I once thought my ACE was leaking and couldn't source it. Was really bugging me for weeks until I found the problem was the hydraulic jack sitting in the battery compartment just above the front r/h wheel was weeping oil from around the rubber re-fill grommet. probably not your issue as you are looking at the ACE pump.

Thanks for your reply Hay Ewe,
The question was, I thought, more a hydraulic line connection problem.

AFAIK the line from the pump runs to the ACE valve block but for some reason (ease of build??) there is a join near the drivers wheel.

The original ACE pipes were fitted with the body off and can't be removed/replaced in one piece. The replacement pipes come in two parts which join behind the drivers side front wheel.

The remove/refit procedure is described in Recall Action Bulletin A/B/D 203 - "ACE High Pressure Pipes Fracturing" which should be on your RAVE CD.
