ACE system pipe corrosion

Just a small addition to a post I put on a day or two ago. If you have a fluid leak and are considering a compression fitting repair and are concerned about the condition of the pipe surface where the compression fitting may be attached. The insert pipe can be extended to any length where the old ace pipe has a good surface, could be 200mm. 300mm or 1mtr ............. just look for a good surface does not really matter where!

In that case the system becomes "floppy" with clear technical reasons, i experienced it myself with loaded vehicle when i lost the fluid due to a massive pipe leak and at higher speed it can be tricky(to not say dangerous) while cornering hard, it wasnt too good for my blood pressure... maybe if you drive it like a grandma mostly on straight(ish) roads it might not be very noticeable... i simply can't understand those who say there's not much difference, IMO it's a kind of cognitive dissonance/self justification not reality. If you want to get rid of the ACE do it properly by fitting classic ARBs to be on the safe side you want to drive fast in the future

I can only talk on this subject based on my experience. I have driven my D2 with ACE deleted and on the original Rams for at least 10 years. I have noticed NO difference in the cars drivability at all. This process was recommended to me by an authorised LR mechanic who worked for LR and now owns and runs an independent LR garage. I am in no way doubting your own experience, but the above is mine.
