Pipe has been replaced. An easy job. The one next to the brown plug, with the 90 degree elbow.

My rubbish temporary emergency fix.

And a long overdue pic of the engine in situ. Looks like any other 2.1!

Looks like any other 2.1 STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BROCHURE! I wish both of mine looked like that!!

Wet wipes Ray.... Amazing what they can do to an engine!!!

Seriously it's not that good! But thanks.

There is a hilarious amount of air in main the fuel line....

I think I might have got the reason why the car is slow to rise and throwing up the low pressure message every time it's cold started. Wasn't on for long this morning though... A bit of extra revs helps as well, so the idle could go up a tad.
But today, I noticed the hydraulic pump was noisier than normal. Infact rotating the main pulley wheel when it was off the car, you could hear the internals clacking together... Not badly, but enough for my ignorance to think it was normal.

Rotating the mandarins pump in comparison.. it is silent. So there possibly lies the culprit. Another job to do, swap the pumps.

If it doesn't snow and is not too perishing tomorrow, I might try and change that fuel pipe. And pigs might fly!

Fingers (maybe frozen) crossed then.

I'm after new brake pads with the pips. Those ones I pictured had one pip on them so aren't suitable. I might go to AEP, I got my last set from there and they were fine. It's quite hard trying to find pads with the pips.

Water pipes, I had a spare so that's one now. I will be getting another soon too. So thanks, I might have to let you know about that one.

Fuel pipe replaced.

So that's all but one that have been completely renewed now. Apart from the nest of other rubber pipes around the fuel tank. Not touching those...

Mainly as the tank I think would have to be dropped.

Just hope the new pipe solves the air ingress now. Didn't get to do much else, got too cold. Cor it was a bit brisk today!
