Nice, let's hope it works out. Are you using the original pipes, or have you got some flexy ones in mind? You might have the makings of a repair / upgrade kit there!
i just brought it to my local engineer
A second hand one on EBay is around £70, I didn't need one as it was just leaking on the pipes. That got drilled out anyway.I guess it´s just easier to say "remove it", without trying to find a solution for it. New valve blocks are expensive, which is what is wrong with mine, and I can´t justify the cost vs the value of the car, but there must be more economical ways to do it.

The fittings were around £20 and the engineers shop cost me £50, it was not that expensive for the improvement it made on the handling
Just found this, and if anyone says that taking out the ACE system is no different from having normal ARBs probably only drives in a straight line.
To right, it is amazing the difference it makes in road handling.
Found one for you for £55

The only thing that normally goes is the pipe connection, The valves them selves rarely go. If you do the mod above it doesn't matter if the pipe connection are damaged.Already looked at this exact one, but my worry is if the block comes from a car with already damaged ACE. How do they diagnose the block?
May need to get flexi hoses, as mine were chopped off in the conversion and original ones are not cheap.
All sorts.What was wrong with yours?
All sorts.
No leaks, and it worked ok when turning right. When turning left the red light would come on. Had a full oil change and bleed, since the previous owner stuck some unknown fluid in there and probably ruined the block. Pump was working, since the system kicked in when turning left.
Also "jumped" every few seconds when stopped at the lights. No idea why!
