Lost all fluid, where should I look first? What is the most common failure?
Any help will be welcomed

As above, that failed in mine on my first 172 Cup.

However my second failed on the low pressure line to the rack. I feared it was the high pressure at first as they are NLA but fortunately it wasn’t.

Don't suppose you have the part number or where I could get one?

Thanks for the photos. Do you know the part number for the sensor? I can't find one

You can probably find it cheaper than here but this is what you're after:

You're a star mate, thanks very much. Not fussed about the price if the part is right!!
