Mate, I would not be trusting that female brake pipe a few posts above. You have flared it wrong


Hi mate,

They was just off cuts i was using on the bench to remind me what flares was needed for each one, i.e. Male and female. So when I was making the pipes I would set the two different dies I have next to them.

The female had only been pressed once you see.

Well today did not go to plan!

After busting a nut on the mk1 over the last 3 days. I filled up with water only to find lots of it on the floor!😡!

It's coming from 3 places, turbo water feed, water blanking plate and the dry deck bung!

So I pulled up the banjo on the turbo I am not to worried at the min about that as it rust in place like the last one lol.

It looks this the rtv I have used is shit as never had this trouble before.

So at 11.30 I made the call to say it was a no go...

And went to sleep for 8hrs lol. I have just came out to look at it with a View to maybe get cracking but I think I will just get a good nights sleep and sort it out in the morning.
