Hehehehe cleanest the engine has ever been.................... cant say the same for me driveway

Elo Phil, Yep running sweet as a nut now,,,,, bloody stupid thing to miss though,,,,,,,,,,,,, when the AA guy turned up to tow me in he asked is it out of gas,,, he switched on and said nahhhh arfa tank,,,,,,, such is landies

I have solved my problem. Wasn't the pump, wasn't the pipes, wasn't the filter, wasn't the unions,,,,,,,,,,,,:oops::oops::oops::oops: was a dodgy fuel gauge telling me I had 1/2 a tank when it was bone dry, only found it cos in desperation I blew the whole system and there was no bubbling in...

Hello All. So much to try and answer,,, ok Phil, No mate it wasn't touched,,, the engine never stopped running just stopped driving, pick the revs up and it died, foot off she would pick up again,,,,,, starts every time just wont rev or pull under load and I cant bleed the filter, nowt comes...

The storey so far. Ive now changed the L/P, tank to pump pipe, pump to filter pipe, fuel filter and guess what,,,,,,,,, nowt,,,, its still the sme no fuel coming out of the filter bleed. Im at the point of trashing the pump and fitting an electric jobbie...... No I haven't changed the return...

I found the problem,,, the wee valves in the pump were full of crap , well whole thing was and very corroded , looks like I need a tank flush and an inline filter, it looks like theres been water stood in the pump for a while, With the lock down it hasn't been run for nearly 2 months ??? Oh...

Right,,,, Ive got the pump off and checked the pipes with comp air in a bucket of water,,, no leaks found, unions ??? they seemed ok they were all dry and looked good I know looks can be deceptive,,,, the pump however had a very stretched and crap looking diaphragm, id say its gone porous. Time...

Thanks All Im fairly sure its the L/P... took it for a short run,,,, ticks over fine and drives on low revs ok, but put your foot down it starts to die and splutter,,, foot off and it comes back to normal tickover,,,,,, pump cant keep up with demand.... but a chance to check all the pipes while...

Cymru am byth,,,,, No mate the glows are not week old. Mick where do I stick the clear pipe,,,,,( the obvious excluded lol lol )

Hello James,,, There is nothing on the peddle but return spring pressure

When it all started I had front brakes working well but no rears, I thought may be they had sticky pistons, so pads removed check for free movement ,,, pistons tried on the peddle they worked normally, so started to bleed the system,,, it wouldn't bleed, couple of pumps and no move fluid...

All im getting is vast amounts of air almost no fluid
