be carefull, If I got this right it might be that this "adapter" your refering to is the bloody valve. put some photo up.
this thing costs a fortune to fix :-(.

Can you not go to a hydraulic hose company and get them to make one? Will defiantly be cheaper!

I think you can't because of this bloody valve, if this is the line we are talking about.
My friend had the same problem. He didn't know about the valve and just replaced with the ordinary hose. It didn't work properly and had to go back to Ford :-(

Do you mean it's leaking here:




If so I was advised it's like this on most people's. Mine never gets any worse than this and there's never any dripping onto the floor...

Its an excuse to get it relocated
