Hi All, Having removed a faulty DDS from the injection pump, I connected the wire from the fuel stop solenoid to the live wire from the immobiliser using a soldered joint. I'm not too happy with this arrangement, although it has lasted 3 months!. It looks like this part of the wiring loom can be...

Wouldn't mind too much if they were, but the failed one was ap lockheed!

I've just replaced the clutch master cylinder on "the beast" for the second time in 3 months, anyone else had problems or have I just been unlucky! It didn't fail, just losing fluid around the bolts on the bulkhead....I've used Lockheed each time, on the plus side, the second one took half the...
