Hey ho guys, got a new accumulator sphere coming tomorrow and have read all the blurb in rave on how to change it. Has anybody done it themselves? I have a few questions...... 1. After depressurising the system will I get any surprises when I unscrew the sphere(pressure or anything else)...

been stripping down the engine and cleaning it all...............Started replacing bits today!!!!!!!!!! put in a new cam shaft and timing gear! Roll on tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers carl, that looks like it has snapped in exactly the same place as mine. I was thinking of changing the cam etc just in case the cam is knackered although its apparently a pig to do with the block in the car. How was your cam when yours snapped? Cheers Rob

Ah ok............ is it possible to do them with the block in the car?

Cheers Steve, will have to wait and see when its all stripped out. Going to do the cam anyway........ its been in 11 yrs so wont do any harm to change it! Sorry i this sounds stupid but what are the Plain bearings?

Thanks for that.............. had a look and cant find anything other than l322. will keep looking though!
