Conquest DJ252 Hood Hydraulics - help requested

Post by HenryC »

I am trying to get the hydraulics that operate the hood raising and lowering mechanism on my car to work.

They were not working when I bought the car and one of the previous owners has been busy disassembling the solenoid valves and pressure relief valve with the result that they are now out of adjustment and nothing much works. The pump although working has had a hard life and is damaged. The whole powerpack is a right old mess with the pump sitting on folded cardboard where the rubber mounts have disintegrated.

I think all the parts are present and the critical adjustments are stated in workshop manual but not simple to do. Two questions:

Has anyone got any experience of refurbishing this hydraulic pack and can advise me?

Has any one got a spare hydraulic pump I could buy/have? I believe it might also have been used on built in jack systems, and also on the Ford Zodiac Convertible. I don't need the motor - just the pump.

Hope someone can help, please.
Cheers, Henry Curwen
