Hello I'm new to forum and looking for some advice. I have a V reg disco 2 es. It has developed a leak from the rear part of the ACE system. Have had it up on axle stands tonight and it looks like it is leaking from one of the pipes above the actuator. The connectors on the actuator are dry but its difficult to pin point the leak. It is leaking intermittantly but when it does it ****es out. Is this a diy fix and if so is it a big job - I only have axle stands so access isn't easy. Any help gratefully received!

Ours went the other week.
It was pooring out of the rubber pipe section where it does a 180 degree turn to head to the rear o/s ram.
The replacement pipes were £58 each.
Luckily it was under warranty but we did pay for the other hose and they changed it at the same time to be safe than sorry.
From what they said there were no filling / bleeding problems.

when land rover built the car it has one pipe going from the block to the cylinder but because the rest of the boddy is fitted around them replacements come in 2 pieces at about £50 each so there is 4 pipes for the back and 4 pipes for the front and 4 pipes going from the pump to the ace block and back again so if the pipes are rusting in a bad way you need to decide what to do remove the ace system or repair it one east way is to get the one piece you need (new or from a breakers)and then do to your local hydraulic engineeres and get a fitting to join the pipes at about £10 each then you need to stop the rest of the pipes from rusting any more with plenty of oil grease or paint but you need to make sure you dont let any dirt in the system when doing any repairs
on the fittings that go into the cylinders there are 2 sealing washers it could just be a case of replacing them but moving the pipes can make them snap if they are in poor condition
