Finally had the time to look at the slight leak I have had since buying my Grand. Seems to be coming from the lower body of the pump. I would guess the seal between the pump and the reservoir.
I found the number of the seal in the parts book but the manual says that the 2 clips holding the reservoir to the pump should be changed as well. Anyone have a number for these as they are not shown in the book.
I will try to get to the stealers this week but do not hold out much hope. German efficiency is certainly missing a few beats where my local Jeep 'dealers' are concerned.
Would have them shipped from the UK or USA but due to the volcanic panic, :banghead: this does not seem to be an option.
Computer simulations are no substitute for real time monitoring!

don't worry about changing the clips, they're just a type of spring clip and last forever. ive used them over an over again.

Great - Thanks

Main dealer in Wiesbaden were very helpful - o-ring seal was in stock.
The seal looks very basic. Because i only want to do this once, think I will wait a couple more days until I am back at work and find a similar size aircraft spec one. These are rated to over 3000 psi with a large temperature range and are used with a hydraulic fluid called Skydrol which is one of the nastiest liquids on the planet.
