yea well the test for checking for a leaking filler neck is usually fill the tank and see if theres any leaks
not sure if you can replace the filler neck or if you have to replace the whole tank as well
but pretty sure you could patch it up with some stuff if you want a cheap bodge job
you said in the first petrol post you filled up. With 1 gallon petrol.you filled up? Or empty'd up ?
1 you could have been leaking it out the petrol can
2 rusty filler neck like mentioned
removable in it? Can not recall this
Buy a new filler pipe. They're not difficult to change. Just smelly and dirty.
She's a real beaut mate but she needs more shiny chromey bling like chrome handles, chrome bumper inserts and chrome boot lid handle insert lol!Got my new black beauty yesterday BAM A LAM

Well after two years of looking, I finally got the one I wanted YAY.Got my new black beauty yesterday BAM A LAM
Flew up from Newquay to Stansted in a very impressive Dash 8 short take off turbo prop. Blimey.....they can accelerate down the runway quicker than a jet (really) Wonder if you could do a conversion and put that engine in a micra???? Nah! its bigger than a micra
Anyways, the seller Mehul, picked me up, and then down to Ilford to see the micra, raining cats and dogs when we got there.
Had a quick look over, and under, spin around the block,( was going to buy her anyway) paid the man...and away.
Tell you what......you couldn't pay me to live up there, TRAFFIC!!!!!! never seen nothing like it, M11 is crap to drive on, and the surface a disgrace. I pulled over at one stage thinking a wheel bearing had gone, no, it was the road surface, concrete road, but the joints had failed, every-one had gone. Then you have to call a control centre to re-join the motorway!!!! What's that about ( I didn't)
Then the M1 for a while......that's just a car park!!! onto the M25.....that's just a car park as well!!!! On to the M4 blimey - traffic, road works, average speed cameras everywhere. Into Devon, the A 38 is closed, the A30 being dualled, so both major roads into Cornwall severally restricted - bonkers. All in all = over 8 hours drive home for 335 miles. She drives lovely, and returned 42 mpg which will improve I'm sure.
I'm going to do a few things to her, lowering maybe, spraying the chrome out maybe, performance filter, black alloys maybe...all if I get the time.
Back bumper is a bit loose as she had a small bang.....BMW again, can't those buggers drive???? all to be sorted.

You usually use special engine enamel but no paints really permanent on exhaust manifoldWhat type of paint did you use on the manifold??
Andy
That's what I also thought, I lacquered my rocker cover with special high temp engine lacquer and that gets hot but an engine manifold gets ultra hot I would have thought even high temp paint wouldn't last long on a manifold?
Andy
It doeant really last at least not over a rusty one. And the rocker cover doesnt need high temp. Any enamel will do.That's what I also thought, I lacquered my rocker cover with special high temp engine lacquer and that gets hot but an engine manifold gets ultra hot I would have thought even high temp paint wouldn't last long on a manifold?

You shouldn't have said about never having a DNF then :L But i am sorry to hear it.
So how much damage you done then?

And a wrecked tyre, cracked bumper..

Mhv American stuff bud good paint I used it on my stockcar for years and never had any peeling? Not sure what people's issues are with it?
Had a look at a few induction systems last night, there's a lot to choose from.
Thinking of the piper-cross filter, you can fit it into the standard box, and get a 30% increase in airflow....according to the blurb.
Any-body on here tried it?
So many to choose from, metal, foam, mushroom, cone, ram air, and so on. Who on here has the best one ?? or think they have the best one???
Also ordered 10mm wheel spacers, waterproof car cover, waterproof seat covers (for my dogs) Other stuff as well....but forgot what I ordered now (senior moment LOL) I'll get around to fitting it eventually. Re-doing my kitchen at this time.....I love decorating....really I do
