Re: Calibra Progress *!= 56k*

Quick update

The bulbs were both ok and after a quick fiddle they were both dodgy connections :/

They have been sorted though!

Anyway to the fuel leak! The two pipes to be changed were prepared...


and changed.

Unfortunately on trying to start it up there was a lot of petrol peeing out the back of the car!

On further inspection the diaphragm pipe had totally ruptured due to rust!


Not good!

It's possible that it was a small hole around this pipe that was leaking before and removing the old pipe ruptured the outer casing

Luckily I had a spare!


Still rusty as hell but no holes

Two very rusty nuts later (ooer) and were back in business!

Ready for the re-test next weekend and should pass with flying colours now
