Hi Guys
Unable to find any info on this so here's what I did, after some faffing
1) drive front of car onto ramps.

2) syphon out all the fluid you can from the fluid container on the right hand side next to the screen washer. A 2 litre ice cream tub is big enough.

3) Get a drip tray ready under the car wherever your gonna undo the bolts.

4) I could see fluid leaking from the top banjo bolt (there are two) on my car from the pipe that comes from the pump ( pump is located front right of the engine). So i undid the bolt (19mm spanner), it was very tight so i clamped a pair of grips lightly to the pipe to stop it from rotating. Let the remaining fluid drain out, (time for a cup of Tea) and then remove the bolt.

5) I could see a nick in the copper washer below so have ordered 2 new ones:-

Part numbers:-
The pair of lines that goes across to the rack (50 on drawing) MA210 460 31 24 £109 ouch!

Banjo bolt (70 on drawing):- MN000000 004051 £5.70 & MN000000 004751 £1.30

Copper sealing ring (80 on drawing) one top and bottom of each bolt:- MN007603 014102 70p each & MN007603 014105 80p each

The reason the are two sets of numbers is the banjo bolts are different diameters.

Washers ordered and back together in the morning, hopefully with no leaks!

Hope that might help someone else with a similar problem
Regards
Stuart
