I heard from my japanese friends here, that some people have the following fix for emergency if the rear LAD shocks or the hoses suddenly leak on a long trip.
They block the line at the regulating valve and screw a plug in. It is said that a spark plug has the same thread and can be used in emergency.
Should look like this

The system

Anybody tried that? I do not know if the plug really comes into that thread, but I assume it closes the distribution line to the rear shocks, so that the Pentosin goes back into the front.
By this the power steering will work, as there will be enough Pentosin for that.
Opinions welcome.
