Hey,

Got a fuel leak from around the tank but I need to get better access to the area to pin oint the leak,

Whats the best way to get access?,

Wheel off?
Inner wing off?

any Ideas,

The leak is only when the engine is running, so I´m thinking fuel lines are my problem, could it be anything else??,

Amazing work my friend, thank you very much,

any ideas if it would make the mixture rich, i.e. what does it do,

hey, just replaced my door due to a bang and I am reattaching the electrical umbilical cable and have found these two connectors and don't know what they do, i have electric windows and mirrors, they are both wired up and working but my central locking isn't, I'm getting the two beeps and indicators...
