Yeah.......... just putting the kettle on can't get the friggin' bumper off one bolt stopping it........... the front one you just have to loosen on the offside is stuck....... and typically it's the worst one to get at, just got the washer bottle off to see if that gives better access to get a spanner on it

Tea first though ....................... and a Hob Nob

You should get yourself to sunny South Wales Jules,

as guess what........... its SUNNY




Hope you find your leak though fella

[spiritof'76]

Bumpers off .................. amazing what you can do with a Hob Non inside ya


............ and found boost leak Inlet manifold gasket, fine on top but pissing out of the bottom, once the oily stuff was wiped away the fairy liquid showed it up no probs

I'm guessing it's one of these paper ones i've read about so probs best to relace with one of the Klinger ones that Mike does but typically i think he's on holiday or summat so a bit stuck as to where else i can get one................

Glad you found the definate cause J

Theres nothing worse than not knowing for certain the cause of a fault,

Yep, glad it wasn't my imagination

In the absense of Mr Rainbird i guess the next best bet would be Cometic gaskets.............. anyone know where i can get those in a hurry ........... Burton maybe, off to search their site now

are you talking about where the inlet meets the head ? The gasket that's gone on mine is the one between the two halves of the RS500 8 Inj. Inlet....... rectangular thing with ten holes


Edit: Plenum is probably the word i am looking for

[The Radman]

id deffo go for a cometic one,the ford plenum things are totally crap,basically a piece of greaseproof paper

[cosmo]

Cometic then J

[spiritof'76]

Cometic then J

Yep, just got back from Burton with one Dave, my pitcrew , popped round last night and got me started and gave me a few pointers so now it's just down to me to finish getting it apart and stick the new one in

Looks a bit fiddly but no more than some of the gas boilers i work on so fingers crossed if you see a huge fireball coming from the Essex direction later you'll know it's not gone well....................

glad you found the leak J nothing worse when you don't what it is
