Default Respect to professional car fettlers !

What a weekend...

I need some bits on my car for the re-map by JGM on bank holiday monday....

So simply replace fuel rails !

1. remove Air Con pump, impossible access to one of the bolts, so off to Halfords for ratchet spanners....
2. remove alternator...
3. remove battery and dis-connect engine loom.
4. remove IC pipework, and inlet hose to turbo.
5. remove water & boost pipes plus wiring.
6. loosen inlet manifold, then remove fuel pipe retaining bolts...
7. eventually remove inlet manifold.
8. remove metal shields.
9. remove fuel pipes, and replace with -6 AN moded parts...

Now it's 9:45 PM and time for food, bath, cider and bed !

Tomorrow it's all got to go back on somehow ! !

So if in doubt, DON'T DO IT !

LOL

P.S. I've pulled an engine out of an Imp and re-built it and re-fitted it in less time than all this ! !

P.P.S. Yes Bri lots of bits left, two huge "shields" off the fuel rails, a few brackets and bolts, fuel filter...
(P.S.)^2 Ian..... how long is a piece of string ?
Needs a full 3" system really, but i aint got another £800 to pay for one, so it'll do !
Guess 390+/370+ or 440/420 on methanol !
