Does look dark but it will take a few flushes to get it all out.

I think its the wee magnet on the bottom cover which tells you the most.
If its 'furry' then that's a worry.
,if its just a bit grey then there's not too much ground up metal being made!
On the final fill up I would put some Lucas Transmission Fix in too. good stuff. I swear it made mine change more smoothly.

Hi, yes I will when I get home. Currently in France for a week. I don't have a clear pipe on mine, just get heavy duty fuel pipe. I'm sure that your fuel pipes shouldn't be sweating fuel.Think it was you that pointed out to me it was in wrong place some time ago?
May stick the one I took out before the filter can you take a pic of yours for me?
Running the airlock out without lift will be fun
Made sure it is not too tight as the plastic would restrict easily with those powerful little clips. If i wobbled the NRV it would fill up with bubbles so xtra precaution. Clear Pipe is always clammy with diesel but too expensive to replace. Will try fuse I thought it was just a relay
However after reading the earlier post re no gravity feed that would explain why I got an airlock at just above the yellow light stage on the fuel gauge! Disconcerting at 70mph on the motorway - cough cough revs up and down... silence...... then glide into the hard shoulder
This is where I start from..Uhh TBH i did neither

Plenty of eBay suppliers can sell spray cans made up from paint codes/ colour name/ years.Just spec'd MC blue paint in ebay

Wetsand it down to the plastic.
1 Use plastic prep primer
2 High build primer
3 sand smooth
4 Colour 3 coats sanding inbetween, be careful to apply thin coats to avoid too much orange peel if you supply your code i can tell you what colour, unless you know it already of course
5 Lacquer 2-4 coats
6 After 24hrs wetsand the lacquer smooth
7 After then using a polish of your choice remove the sanding marks..
8 seal/wax
etc etc
Don't you need to flatten the colour again before you lacquer? Last time I sprayed metallic was 10 years ago but i remember it looking terrible and completely the wrong colour until the lacquer went on then it all looked perfect
