Title: Bloody cars.
Post by: madgaz on October 19, 2007, 07:38:16 pm

Last Friday the brakes decided to *BLEEP* fluid all over out of the rear wheel cylinder so I let R Lass use the 165 until I got round to sorting the Pug out.
Last night we went shopping in the 165 and on the way had a strong petrol smell. Came out of the supermarket and half a tank of bloody Optimax and Octane Booster was making pretty patterns on the car park floor (OK...so it wasn't really half a tank but it might as well have been)
Got home and managed to do a 'temporary' repair to the fuel line with 'petropatch' LOL. It seemed to work last night as there was no fuel in the tub this morning that I put underneath the leak,...that was until R Lass got to work this morning and it was *BLEEP*ing out AGAIN >:(
Got it home tonight and replaced a section of copper pipe with braided rubber pipe only for ANOTHER bloody leak to start 12 inches away ;) ;) ;)
Looks like I'll be spending again on her >:(

i had to replace all the fuel lines on the sainz not that long ago with genuine toyota one ffs, talk about a nice wee handling..... pipes are cheap from toyota but labour in fitting them ain't cause the tank has tobe dropped and back end od the engine stripped for them to be fitted
