I removed the ABS unit’s shuttle valve switch to fix a botched Option B mod from the previous owner and found cracked wire insulation. The ground connection for the Option B was held on by a single wire strand due to corrosion.

I removed the heavier aluminum Secondary Air Injection (SAI) tubing and replaced it with 19mm (3/4") red silicone tubing and a "T" fitting. Adding this will make it sooooooooo much easier to remove and install if need be for V8 engine maintenance.
I haven't properly tested out the SAI pump and tubing yet. I will look into jumping the relay to turn the pump on and check for air leaks.
*EDIT*
I jumped relay R6 (diesel glow plugs relay) to activate the SAI pump. All works good except for the expected extreme heat under the bonnet making the hose very rubbery & pliable.

Cheers mate
it’s not perfect, couple of creases when it bent whilst I was trying to refit it.
Much better than the old sagging one and better than £250 eBay job

Cheers Pal.. I use high temp spray glue, I used almost 2 tins & acoustic carpet I had some left
over from a boat job plus ive done my defender & ive still got a fair bit left.
New rubber are fitted and I made sure the paint work was A1 before fitting the alpine lights, but point notedWhy have you left the alpine windows in get them out before you paint it.
So may take them back out again before painting at the weekend,
It’s like opening pandora box the more I did the more needed doing, and you are right it’s not worth ruining a boat for a half penny of tar,

I literally only ever have to unplug and replug the one under the passenger seat and it goes away...
