I am afraid it has no spring, as it is brake line... the end result would be to wach it roll down :laugh:

Yer guessed it was solid but that was the first thing that came to my mind. :laugh:

well figured i ought to pop a quick post up here, car is till waiting for a slave cylinder rebuild kit to make it up to the farm - the rebuild kit for a 620Ti slave cylinder cost about ?10 rather than the close to ?100 for a new slave so waiting is def the order of the day...

I am also still fearing the worst about the fuel pump, but as the car can't make its own way around at the moment it has not been for a diagnostic session yet..... am keeping fingers crossed it is just the EML playing silly buggers, and once that is cleared it will run smoothly again!

I hope so too, about time you had a good run with no issues.

p_b82 15-10-10 02:07 PM

well there are two bits of news....

first the Good news.... my repair bill did not cost me anything....

and now for the........... excellent news - nothing wass wrong with it :D

It had the slave cylinder rebuilt for peanuts and upon investigation matt thinks that it gfailed due to external contamination, so he has fitted a really beefy dust cover to it this time.

RE: the pump, there was a lot of water\crud marks from the various explosions of coolant and they had worked their way into the connectors.

Initially the pump guy could not clear them as they kept coming back, things like timing errors, pump disconnected flow rates etc, but once the connectors were all cleared and sorted no more codes :D

so all i have to do is to pick it up, hoping GF will be up for a drive to the farm tomorrow, but if not it will be Thursday night when i get back to the UK...

So back to the relief system.... and i got a couple of forum friedns to help me.

One does technical drawings, and the other is a metalworker. Both have said they will do it for beer tokens :D

*cosses fingers*
