Evidence of a minimal leak (dye under cap) at the small high pressure valve, but condenser is of indeterminable age, so probably going porous :y

Both valves were replaced with new last year prior to regassing, rechecked for tightness and all seemed well, ie it was fully home. Definitely going somewhere as the machine only got 102g out :o
,
blimey that's a leak alrighty.,828g loss, new condenser time, then :)
Compressor still ran though ;D
,
don't know what the pressure valve works at. They use to cost £65.00
Don't fancy the chances of replacing that without snapping summat...
grip the bottom of the pipe firmly, and unscrew by hand. Think there's also a 13mm nut on the base.

Returned from a 300 mile round trip on the TD estate, and have found that the rear  wheel bearing(?) noise has almost completely disappeared, as long as I have the window open (no A/C at present) and the wireless on loud. I am trying to work out why this happens. :-[

OK, got the brothers Elite running again after doing the top injector seals, found a nice nick in number one pot seal so that's the air leak fixed i hope, oil and filter change, and front disc's and pad to do on Saturday after a nice 12 hour night shift (If i get up in time) ::). He still wants me to do the rear bushes and change a rear door that has been in my shed (parts store) for about six months :o ::) and all this before doing any work on my 3 Omega's ??? :-\ :o

3.2 got an outing to sea side yesterday, highlighted again we need more space for anything more than a day trip.



The 3.2's are seriously rubbish on fuel, 28mpg over 150 miles 95% motorway too  ::)

Plan to do same run in the Estate in a few weeks, be interesting to see how the 3.0 compares  :)

Well there's the picnic hamper, two burrberry blankets, the buggy (to make sure it fits), two fleeces in case it's chilly, two cagouls, in case it rains, two coats in case it's cold, towels for post paddling, a change of clothes in case someone falls over whilst paddling, two changes of shoes just in case, plus enough fuel to get there and back because there won't be anywhere on the way to/in/on the way home from Brighton to buy petrol... ::)

Although, from the economy figures, Mrs T drove home ;D

That looks very like Brighton. :y

Tis Brighton  :y

Really like it there around lanes and such. I drove, 80ish most of way.

Bose shelf removal would probably give more room. Space is ok, but no room for suitcases after pram, cot thing ect are in.

Remove Bose shelf, dump the Bose amp in the first aid basket, and extend the wires to the speakers in the parcel shelf. Jobbed.

Could do. Prefer getting the Estate :)
