Mystery solved after a divine intervention :)... that black "seal-shape" thing was petrified carbon deposit, the one with the gap is normal ... it was injector nr.5 so the missing glow plug might have some effect too.

If you've got the go ahead from your financial director i'd get the nice new one. I spent (and am spending) countless hours on it. I do get it about wanting to repair the original though.

The bendy bit 😀

it’s lasted fairly well

Its broken...!

Yes, I saw that and was tempted. I do a fair bit of grp roofing, so as I have the materials on hand, I thought, what's the worst that can happen 🤣

Think that would be doable making various patterns maybe out of thin ply, been working with west systems 2 pack epoxy repairing a wooden dinghy but not cheap but cheaper than this...

😨

Looks worth a punt

I'll try that. Thank you 🙏

Spider hand press-ups helped with mine … match up fingers and thumbs on each hand and press together

I tried string first of all last weekend. Total failure, weird, because that was always my go to method with windscreens. Bought a tool kit and it made the job possible. Just!. That said, the angle I was working at played hell with my carpel...

And string.?
