| Post subject: | The joys of an 86 s2 |
I have now discovered why I couldnt find the fuel filter. A previous owner had fibreglassed completely over the access panel under the cradle.When I stripped it off the tank nearly fell on the floor the cradle was that rotten.Managed to get a half decent 2nd hand one from douglas valley,which looks fine after a wire brush and a quick paint.While the tank was out I saw the fuel return pipe was rotten and also the vent pipe from the expansion tank.After fixing that I noticed 2 driveshaft boots were split so changed them,flushed out the brake fluid,bled the brakes.The next day I had no pedal and thought it was the master cylinder,luckily before I changed this my friendly mechanic neighbour pointed out that each caliper has 2 bleed nipples! What an arse. Despite all these hiccups I am enjoying learning about the car. Next its the electrical faults. |
