Re: Fuel leak
Cheers guys, all sorted. Luckily it was just a split hose from the pump to the hard line, an easy fix.

Re: Fuel leak
Cheers for the replies. Can I more or less rule out a leaking tank as it only leaks under pressure, plus it's only about 1/4 full and the fuel seems to be coming from near the top. Re the hoses easily accessible? In all my years of ownership I've never really been near this area.

Fuel leak
Hi All, it's been many years since I posted, good to see the place still ticking over. I have a big fuel leak that seems to be coming from the top right side of the tank but only when the engine is running. I've not had a chance to get underneath and give it a proper inspection, hopefully it's not a...

Re: Proof of date of manufacture to bring forward historic vehicle status?
I've been counting down the years until my car becomes tax/MOT exempt but then discovered that as my '89 car is an import it was officially first registered in 2016. I probably won't live to see it become historic. Gutted.

Re: AC Power Loss
I don't ever use my AC for this reason. I can't say I've ever struggled to climb a hill but the power loss is noticeable. That coupled with the overly raised idle just makes it a pain. I guess it's fairly primitive technology.

Re: What’s this??
The second pic could be the connector for an OBC 'gong' , the first may be for the airco' idle control, but not sure on either! Definitely nothing to do with headlight leveling system.

Re: E30 Minor car restoration work needed for MOT
I'm a fan of the last method, undo everything including subframe and suspension and then raise the car.
