Have a chat with Pirtek , they have a branch in Westbury https://www.pirtek.co.uk/service-centres/westbury/, they stock many parts and can make bespoke hoses for most hydraulic applications.

Many thanks. Hadn't thought about them. I thought they were always for big industrial/plant applications 110 D250 SE HT

With the quad being so old I have no idea of the thread pattern for each union.
I had hoped to either biuy a kit that allows me to make my own unions or take it somewhere and just give them my current lines and they just give me a new set that I could just fit 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

Why not get your own built, by someone like this? https://auto.helperformance.com/custom-car-braided-brake-lines

@ John P. Not knowing what Polaris used in the late 90's is the issue. If I could be 100% sure what thread they used it would be easier. 110 D250 SE HT

What about getting a gauge to check?
https://www.mfcp.com/our-blog/bid/76568/Th...rake-Lines As part of my tap&die set I have a metric gauge to check thread pitch. Maybe you can get something to check the thread pitch and diameter? I suspect this won't be easy, as I had a job trying to identify some non metric threads. |

Thread gauge is a great idea. Found this company Car Builder Solutions. They sell a gauge for £6. So thats my first order and go from there 110 D250 SE HT

“Would it reasonable of my thought process to think it's the ignition switch that is faulty?”
Should it be stopped via a fuel cutoff solenoid? I think it probably is, and that is where I would start my checks. |

Would something from the 90's have such a cut off solenoid? 110 D250 SE HT

Certainly 300Tdis have one on the back of the fuel pump, and I’d imagine the 200s as well. It should be an easy enough thing to check. At one point my car started ‘hesitating’ - the fuel solenoid wire was barely connected. Crimped on a new connector and the problem disappeared completely.
In the Bosch VE pump (tdis at least) the solenoid allows the engine to run. I guess it could also be configured to cut the fuel delivery on power off…? But the key term there is ‘guess’ - sorry I hadn’t realised this wasn’t a Landy Donald 1994 Defender 300Tdi 110 SW - owned since 2002 - 230k miles and going strong (The 'rolling restoration' or tinkering thread: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic58538.html ) 2000 Range Rover P38 4.0L V8 in the past..

Yes. And the more basic the application the more chance of having one. |
