Northamptonshire help required

Post by jhunt »

My BX 19 TXD has sprung a bad leak from around front sphere and lost all of its hydraulic fluid. Is there anyone in or near Northamptonshire who can do repairs please?

Thanks

Try Michael Knighton - 01933 273232. Could just be a loose sphere, so make sure you can't just spin it by hand. If you can, tighten it up!

Thanks very much Michael. I tried the tightening the sphere but as solid as a rock!

Best

Has the suspension gone hard? I wonder if the sphere has ruptured?

Thanks Mulley. Yes it has. The fluid suddenly came out so that could be the problem.

Shame you aren't nearer, i could fit a spare sphere that i have to double check whether its deffo a sphere failure rather than anything else.
