Well finally getting the old girl (now officially nick named Gladys by my family ) back together after some major rewiring and engine work over the winter...

Am pleased to report she fired up first time but....

the fuel pressure regulator i fitted last year seems to have decided one summer was all it was worth and appears to have blown its seals... fuel leaking out all over it

new one on order and tax disc will be bought on the 1st so should be on the road for the weekend....

Therefore I predict that it will now rain every weekend for the forseable future

ggod for you!!!


more storieslike this may inspire me to get back into the garage ....

Right so when I want the car out this Saturday and its tonking down I'll send the boys round for a friendly finger pointing session....

Love the avatar - those Avon's are the dogs....

Nice work - good you got it all going again...

B*gger

well if thats the case I have just wasted another £35...

But.. the glass on the gauge of my current one is broken anyway so what the hell!

will check tonight and see if the leak has stopped, will tell you how i get on as it may be of help to others

cheers

Well done Dave, mine is getting close to being finished but will miss the SVA dead line might need to call round to see how you overcame a few problems that I am currently grappling with.

Steve

well had a look last night and fuel is still seeping from the reg so I guess the replacement wasnt a waste after all....

cheers
