Well I got the car out of the garage hoping to get the boot cleared out ( chairs still in it from billing)
And noticed I had a fuel leak underneath, I presumed it was the tank but luckily it was the joint between the flexi and the solid pipe under the floor, so replaced clip with a stainless jubilee, that seems to of cured it for now, but pipes did look a bit grim so will get those replaced at some point.
I then thought while my hands stink of petrol i might as well do the other jobs that have been on the list for months now, which was fit the bosch red injectors to the polished fuel rail ive had for 2 years :lol: after doing that I plumbed in the adjustable FPR.
Set the FPR to 3 bar vac off and blocked etc, it moaned and ***** a bit on start up, but after switching off and starting 3/4 times all seems good now.
Took it for a 5 mile drive and it seems smoother now tbh.
All seems ok so far. :D

20 bags of rubbish, 3 broken chairs, 1 bike and broken jack to the dump then jet washed the path down the side of the house. As for today I'm painting the side of the house :( Toby comes back from the beakers with 1 front bumper, the plastic part that fits in front of the rear bumper on the Cally, just need to cut it to fit round the exhaust and odd screws and bits.
Mark...........It's Red........It's a V6............It's an SE9!..............and She's bad.
