Can you get your hands down the back? Even with plenum off its tight. You cant get a pair of pliers down there. I had to wrap a chain around the hose and yank it out. Put some soap on your arm.

if its the same hose as mine thats leaking which is sounds like then you just need some 8mm ID hose. You can buy it in metre lengths on ebay which is plenty. But I would recomend you do the plenum water bypass.

To fit the newer type injectors into an older type car do I just need a newer type fuel rail or is there anything else required.

Plenum by pass close up tech help
Thanks I have the plenum off, battery out and valve covers off. Im just a little confussed as all the pics are after pics and im trying to feel my way around when its a little differnent. Mine in the middle joins into a rail section, ie it goes from the top hose - rail - hose. I dont want to start grabbing things and pulling them out blindly.

Plenum by pass close up tech help
The hose that runs down the lowest to the turbo. Whats the best way to approach that one? Ive ran my hand down the back and found it all the way down to the connection but cant see a way to tackle it from above with no space. I cant even see anything. Ive yet to take a look from underneath. Should I do that blind from above or try underneath.

How many Dremels does it take to polish a plenum
Bought Dremel 4000 for £100 from B&Q 2 days latter its dead. Whats crap is it was the last one in stock at my B&Q and if I buy one elsewhere will just be a PITA returning it when that one burns out in another 2 days. Everything these days is expensive crap!

guitar help
Also holding the low e string down at both ends (fret 1 and fret 12) the string will be straight so you can see if the neck is bowed. If its just rattling on the locking top nut take the the top nut out and put a little shim underneath. I find a cut up credit card works well.

Does anything like this exist
In the top gear episode about when they do an exhibition and the Lambo wont fit through the door, they use a lift on wheels that tilts the car on its side. What I want to do is put a car in my back garden but only have about 5ft of room down the side of my house. The car will stay in the garden so its not coming in and out. Any ideas.

Front shock absorber, top nut question
How do you undo the top nut am I supposed to turn the top section or the nut underneath. Either way its just spinning around. Thanks.

Nasty waterleak above turbo and garages in Surrey
Last night got a very heavy waterleak above passenger side turbo and running down side of gearbox when engine is running. Totally inaccessible I cant even see the leak source under the car. I think it needs to be towed to a garage and gearbox dropped to get to. Any Z garages near Surrey / S.London im SM2 area. Thanks
