Right chaps, tigger gets the trophy  :y

Checked the line to the purge valve. All good. Checked the Schraeder valve and it was all wet and leaking. Nipped to the garage and got the tyre valve tool. Tightened it up. No more leaks  :y :y

Cheers
Can't be right all the time ;D

Was thinking that I'd fractured one of the lines going in to the fuel rail. Think I deserved a touch of luck  ::) :D

Good news! One of those things you couldn't imagine it... well, except Mr Tigger did, do full marks there  :)

We can all be checking our fuel line valves now.... ooh, imagine if Ive been sending fresh, unburnt fuel vapour into the atmosphere for the last year without knowing. That would be up to my usual standard, I have to admit  ;D

Glad Mr The Bear is back on the road.  :y
