2010 V8 4.5 D-4D AHC fault and fluid leak

[simont]

Hi All

A friend of ours has inherited the above car from her husband who has passed away. It passed its MoT in March but has stood for 4 or 5 months. I started it the other day and got a check AHC warning. The suspension won't raise itself when moving or respond to the controls. A diagnostics check showed the fluid to have gone AWOL and there is evidence of a leak around the rear axle. Can anyone suggest where to start looking for the leak and how to refill the fluid please? Also can you recommend a trusted specialist in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear or Cumbria - we are in Hexham.

Many thanks
Simon

I've found a corroded pipe above the diff that is almost certainly the source of the leak. Can anyone point me towards a parts catalogue/diagram of the hydraulics around the rear axle?

thanks again

Many thanks uHu. I had since found partsouc but the diagram is not at all realistic so I'm struggling to identify the correct part. Also the prices seem utterly ridiculous - over £200 for a metre of pipe???!!!
