Re: [DMCForum] Re: 9/1 Update for Martin



Well, I've been chasing my own gremlins today. Fitted a set of new fuel 
hoses and HT leads yesterday. Result? Engine acting as if it has a 
massive vacuum leak *sigh*. Then dropped a crucial o-ring and having 
trouble finding a replacement. I think I found the source of the vac 
leak, should now be okay, but stuck ont his sodding O-ring.

It's nice working with my engine because the thermal vac valve under the 
intake is not used - all vac hoses and connections are accessible on MY 
car :-)

Darren says £120 for a refurbed one. Let me kow if you decide you do 
want one. You should have a vac pipe strait off the manifold going to 
the top port on the CPR.
