can anyone suggest the best way forward for us?
gates have been fine for five years, hydraulic, operated by fobs only.
one of the rams has a weep of oil, so now in the very hottest of weather ( a few days last year, but considerably more now) one of them doesn't open, so we leave them in a open state.
the ram which is broken has a label ontop saying 'linkcare'. model 65-H353AF19. The other one is a different brand.
below the locked/emergency opening cap, I have a metal hexagaonal type cap. i've unscrewed that off, and below are two threaded, screw top things ( like a really large grub screw?)....is one of these going to be where i open and top up oil? how do i know which one?
other questions...if i can't top up oil...
-is it entirely possible to switch from hydralic to cheaper electro-mechanical on both sides? i ask because one guy has said they don't fix hydraulic.....and priced a new pair at £2500 incl vat and fitted. i understand elec-mech are cheaper. however i can see the ram on the other side is a DEA and still available to buy £486 delivered for one.
-how best to find an engineer in my area?
any help or pointers greatfully received. thanks in advance.
