it appears to be the transmission tunnel above the exhaust system - i imagine heat from the exhaust has burnt the undercoating off, so that why it’s rusted through, unless it’s had a lot of water inside.
"Predicted Reliability" is wonderfully vague!
All i can say is my second hand Jaguar has been fine for the 18 months I've had it, our new Kia has had an intermittent screen fault from new and goes in next month for a transmission and/or motor replacement under warranty ......
I'm in the same boat myself and need to revisit the front piece of my headliner. Mine had been retrimmed and had new material stuck over the original bonded/molded material, that was delaminating from the backing panel so I figured it was best removed and new material stuck direct on to the...
I had to let my gas welding gear go when I downsized, which was a shame as it is still a really satisfying way of welding. I'd like to have a proper go with a TIG set but I cannot really justify it now for the amount I'm likely to do, and my eyesight isn't what it was so that doesn't help!
I think that’s it, I can take a look at my before photos tomorrow if that would help to check the position of the regulator (though I suspect it can only really go in one place). Yes, the return line connects to the central port on the regulator - hope that helps.
I think you may have the fuel rails on the wrong way round - well mine don't look like that anyway..o_O
On mine the fuel goes in at the front end of the rail, from a flexible hose connected to the filter. The return is from the pressure regulator and the "spare" outlet near the centre of the...
I've been taking advantage of the unseasonably mild weather to rectify a few minor issues:
Firstly, the original starter motor spun the engine over nice and quickly but wasn't engaging cleanly on the first start of the day - I replaced the original with the later type for the E34 M5/535. This...
@nosmonkey - yes, mine had rear seat belts at some time though only the buckle parts were still in place when the car came to me. Incidentalily mine must have been built around the same time as yours as it’s one of the last series 1 CSIs, registered Jan 74 but I think built a few months earlier...
interested to hear that I’m not the only one that was a little horrified by the crappy (RHD?) seatbelt installation! I reinforced mine with a 3mm steel plate, as I also felt that in anything other than a minor shunt the seat belt would just rip out.
