Almost identical to the set up on Titan!!

The lubricator is a roundhouse one, about £10 I seem to recall.

Titan MM gave me a regulator the same as yours but it was jammed and I had to open it up.
When I did an 'O' ring fell out in about 5 bits.
This O ring seals the the regulator into the housing but I havent managed to put a new one in.
Have you had to replace the O ring and if so is there a trick to doing it?

Do you need a lubricator, mine runs fine without it, just give a good oiling to start off with.

I suppose for long runs after you top up the water a couple of times it could come in handy
