Just need to find a PacMan carburettor adjustment tool and hopefully that is the issue. Cheers.
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
I meant tall, Phil, tallYou're a bit big to be going down these narrow little shafts, aren't you? Be a hell of a job getting you out........
I know my limitations. As soon as circumstances permit will visit Speedwell, Treak Cliff, Blue John and Peak Caverns - test out my size and fitness 30 years or more on from last visits

Also scary as regards working conditions and mine access - visited last year. Use of man engines.Many years ago, Phil. The lad went with school a while back too. Scary when you go down and see the working conditions, I would recommend a visit to anyone who is in the area.Don't know about the rest of the country, but folk around here seem to have behaved very well. Went for a walk up Grimethorpe muckstack (Sounds nice, don't it) earlier, and saw two people with dogs. Very little traffic too.
Unlike Australia where, apparently, the beaches in certain areas were very busy.
Is that name for real or is it just what the locals use?

It's the mountains of slag built up over many, many years and landscaped once the mines closed.
Steve - have you been to the Caphouse Colliery - Mining Museum - I went many years ago

A vac check is not sufficient as a test .. it works in totatally the "wrong" direction so can only detect major problems .. it cannot detect a small leak at a joint as it sucks the joint tight ... whereas normal pressure forces it apart ....... applying suction (Vac) to a system that runs at around 14bar is useless... which is why a PRESSURE check with dry nitrogen is the only thing that works..... not rocket science but appears to be beyond the numpties who try to sell it.. and often succeed ..
Went to a local garage last year and they did not do the right thing - when I got a mobile chap round he said there is no way they could not have noticed such a massive leak - that was on the Phaeton. Thing is this is supposed to be a diagnostic check and not a re-gas so I am hoping it is the least cost option to tell me where the leak is
Will be interesting to see what they do, it should be a visual check followed by a dry Nitrogen charge and some indicator dye...................trouble is I don't see Halfords doing that
I can't see Halfords having either of the above in the first place

You would be better going to the local garage, they will evap the system, then pressure test, with a dalek, it's a better option than Halfords youff no1, plugging a can and gauge onto the thing.
