Help ! Excessive pressure, not vacuum
Just disconnect the carbon canister (under passenger front wing) on the tank side as Topless says. If you remove the assembly you should be able to test purge valve anyway. Regards Dave

Help ! Excessive pressure, not vacuum
Honestly think fuel pressure reg symptom, not cause. Money on Purge valve/ Carbon canister! :) Regards Dave

wing side repeaters easy to change?
Crystal fronts look far better. Cover the other holes with foil and they wont notice. Make sure you use chrome bulbs on sides and fronts and you'll lose the fried egg look! Regards Dave

Help ! Excessive pressure, not vacuum
There should be neglible pressure on the return side of the fuel pressure regulator- if it does rise there is a possibility that it will react on the diaphram and increase pressure on the injector side- more fuel will be injected at each pulse even tho the length of each pulse remains the same (same principle as adjustable regulators on performance engines) and could effect the engine through overenrichment. Regards Dave

Help ! Excessive pressure, not vacuum
I believe the problem will be a blockage in the Carbon Canister/ and or Purge control valve. The design with the canister allows vapor to build up until purged by the running engine. Since the tank is sealed to prevent vapors escaping to the atmosphere, (and the only pressure relief through the cap is inward to counter vacuum caused by cold fuel/ fuel drop) if the canister cannot purge pressure will build up. The only pressure relief available to the tank to the atmosphere is via the canister and thence intake manifold and engine! Remember as fuel warms and expands it achieves greater volume, + vapor pressure will have the same effect as pumping up the garden sprayer. Look at andys pic to see system. Dont want to be rude but cant see how the pump can pressurise system since only pumping same volume of fuel round and round, that is takes from tank and returns it less that burnt- to pressurise it would need to be pumping fuel from another source into a tank with no vent- think about it- thats how an air compressor works!!

Strange marking
Hi Lisa I have seen something similiar when a workshop blew a gun out with thinners outside (they had been priming a panel outside the booth)- forgetting vehicles parked a little way away- breeze carried droplets across onto parked cars! :headvswal By the way I think Lisa meant he said £100 a panel to respray. Best of luck Dave
