Hi All,
Thanks for the feed back. I anyone is interested my new pressure control valve for my LH front shock arrived the other day. See Below:



Before I replaced the new unit I had a small leak around the gasket area where the unit attaches to the shock housing itself. This was sealed with a flexible adhesive sealant Sikaflex 221. The new valve was then screwed into place(no need for sealant tape etc as all parallel threads with o-rings).
The Sika was given a couple of hours to cure the wheel put back on and started the car. It took a couple of minutes to re align itself height wise but all is good, just like a brand new system.
So far so good. Can I suggest if you have leaks in this area this may well be the way to go.
New pressure control valve - 50.00 euro.
New seal kit for compressor - 25.00 pound sterling(because I stuffed it by driving vehicle).
Once again thanks for the feedback.
Chris.
