    Re-thread 2000 VP SX-M cylinder for hydraulic hose

    Try taking a photo with a phone to see if there is damage or that the "O" ring is damaged. The "O" ring is very small and must be seated correctly, the barrel nut only needs nipping up not atall tight.

    I chased a similar problem, does it overheat only at idle or at speed? This was my problem between the Upper and Lower gear cases. They have replaced it now with a stainless one but I don't know when that was actioned.
