Vacuum (by nature) will be all or nothing. That said, worth checking the operation of the valve itself (both for rattles and smooth opening).
Any 4mm vacuum hose will do. The O/D of that blue fitting looks quite large however. Regardless, it seems like a vacuum leak maybe your initial...
Pity. I've got a set of the larger fitting going spare, but not the smaller ones.
warm the car up, stick on a suitable glove then have someone rev the car whilst you hold the valve open. Then you'll be able to hear the sound...
That's no uncommon. You can drill the hole, tap it and then screw in a brass barb fitting. Easy job with the engine out. More fiddly with it in...
Jesus wept. Found it, buried under the brake reservoir which you have to unbolt… Thank you
thank you mate, as always. I'd been digging round the two fuse boxes but no joy!
Guys Can anyone tell me where the hell it is please? I've googled and can't seem to find it. the parts diagram is useless.
Listen you. Get out of here with your logic and well-reasoned argument... It's 'handbags at dawn' and 'willy-waving' only in this thread....
Just thinking... I spend far too much time trawling various threads, some of which are issues I've not had, some are issues I've resolved in the...
Had a vaguely similar issue some time back. Car would die completely. Turned out to be very badly corroded earth wire to the battery. Replaced...
They make up item 41 from this shot [ATTACH]
These are they… [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Chaps As part of my recent oil pipe rebuild / replacement, I've ended up with the ends of the big pipe (sump to tank) going spare. I've no need...
Intermittent fault would indicate bad earth / broken wire. The fact its regular in occurrence and timing would point to a sensor or similar?
The only time you 'need' to degree everything with the wheel is if you take the pin and sprocket off the cam. Then you have to start from scratch...
I tend to blob a tiny amount just where the gasket meets the o-rings, but even then it'***** and miss as to whether they seal. Annoying, but hey ho.
Just to be clear, I'm saying it takes me 15 hours. I can't see why you'd bother using a degree wheel unless you'd taken the cams and sprockets...
It takes me 5-6 hours to remove the engine, by myself, in my garage, using the 2 jack method. Getting the undertrays etc off whilst lying on the...
Well, its back together, run up to temp and pressure and so far, its bone dry. Huzzah! Time to enjoy the 1 day of warm dry weather in the UK...
