Figured i would pop an update in here as it has been a month or so....
Well good news is that the clutch still hasn't gone, so the altered bite point i think is just down to the slave cylinder being rebuilt..... now i said that it will die on me next week
I have been loosing coolant at a slow but steady rate, but just topped up with 500ml of OAT after about 1500miles, and i think i found the leak from the bottom rad hose..... here is hoping anyways.... lossened the pipe, re seated it and nipped it back up, with the engine running there was no drip this time....
my metal working friend has not been able to take my mocked up update off me yet, as either i have been out the country or he has, so it looks like the pressure relief system is still further timein the future to being resolved..... if i am lucky i might get it back inbetween Xmas and new year and can open her up agin to test stuff out
Have to say i am proud of the mightly L-series.. fires up with only one glow plug working, even in -2 and being buried in a snow drift for a week.... good old airport carparks....
I am hoping that when matt changed the plug (the only one working) he popped it into number 4, as that one is staying in there until the head comes off, as it is a fuel pump removal required to change it..... number 1 is tight underneath a coolant pipe too..... I will know more when i get a multimeter onto it and read the resitance of each plug.... would go out and buy one, and have done it, but it was on my Santa list so no idea if it has been bought yet.... :S
Ah well keeps me out of trouble
