Hi folks, I went on the same mission myself after failing the MOT on a brake pressure regulator supposedly leaking. I tracked the part number to arie.nl (part no longer available) I bought the regulator , I changed the brake fluid before the part arrived which surprisingly sorted my problem. So now i have this part for sale up on ebay for what i paid for it if anyone is interested, its brand new, be sure to check the pics and compare to your regulator before buying as I have been informed that there are a few different versions on the LT's  listing is here http://goo.gl/SJsder

I remembered last night that DAF have not been back to me either. I will go by on Tuesday and see if a face to face yields better results.

Apparently he has had 100 made by Bosch in Italy.

 
That's good news.  A lot easier to swap it out for a new part which is the same.  Just wish this had come up before I started mine.  Just my luck LOL

Not long back from having the van Mot'd.  It passed!  Well chuffed with that.  Nothing needed doing and no advisory's.  The Mot guy mentioned that I had changed the regulator as we had discussed.  He said it worked fine. 
 
 
Hopefully that is the last time I will have to touch that until the van goes to scrap yard heaven (because it's led a good and honest life LOL).  I could have made the job easier by not cutting the original pipe's (and not having a partially blocked pipe) but other than that it was an easy enough job.  If anybody else goes the same route it can comfortably be done in a day.

I will indeed! Hopefully I will be able to get somewhere with it, but with mine working reasonably OK it won't be top of the priority list...

There is one for repairing the BKR, and three very useful pats list and drawings/specifications, which clearly state '*** This part not included in the repair kit'

If you remove the seals they will have a part number on them and probably a size and manufacturer`s name
 all you need is the size ,if the cylinder is ok you can just source the seals and replace them
 
LTCamper89 found a German site which show's a step by step re-build (there is a link to it in this thread, somewhere!).  Only trouble is it's in German.  At the bottom of the page it does list the seal sizes.  From the brief look I've had at it, it's not a simple job.  It's not like a caliper or wheel cylinder for example where you just push out the piston.  Mat is having my spare, so I guess he is going to have a go at re-building it.  Hopefully he will do a thread on it which will give people a couple of options.
 
If you have the time to re-build it and there's an English thread on how to re-build it then it would be the better option and cheaper!!!

On Friday I set off to the garage to get the brakes tested.  But I noticed the van was pulling to the right under heavy braking.  Long story, short.  After two day's of crawling around under the van I think I had a partially blocked brake pipe.  I suspect it has been like that for a while because it ties in with not having to adjust the nearside brake shoes as much as the offside (my old shoes had no automatic adjuster).
 
Not long back from the garage and my rear brakes seem to be fine.  The chap at the garage said they gave a good reading.  Slight imbalance, upto 10-15% but he thinks that is probably down to weight distribution.  Good enough to pass though as the maximum is 30%.  I was quite surprised because the van did pull to the offside under heavy braking every now and then.  I think that might be down to weight because the right side of the van is heavier. 
 
Anyway it is good enough to pass that's all I'm worried about.  Mot Friday so I'll keep you updated on the results of that.  Should be ok but I'm always sceptical until I've got that piece of paper in my hand.
