Same again. Nothing on the way home. Bizarre!
Tried sorting the fueling issues, following Keith's guide first try I managed to get modulation down from 73% to 60%, but I realised the rear support bracket is missing from the FIP, so saw that as a good place to stop as the modulation was bouncing from 60% to 10% and back up to 60 again. Which to my uneducated mind makes me think the pump is flexing causing the problem there.
On that, don't suppose anyone knows what the intake nuts size is (I've seen M8 but that doesn't seem right to me)? They fit perfectly on the stud where that bracket goes but don't want to pay 10 quid for the privilege so just need a nut size so I can plunder one from work on Monday.
Good news is she revs freely, bad news is still super low on power, but I hope that will improve when I bring in that final 10% of modulation.

It gets more complex with waves between different models.
We've been here a few times over the years.

I set up an account with TFL for all of my vehicles in January, went to a funeral in the ULEZ a couple of weeks ago and got the £90 fine on Saturday for non payment. Turns out, the account I set up on their intentionally impossible to navigate website was for the new tunnel that they want to charge everybody for and although it leads you to think it cover ULEZ, it doesn't. FFS! It's my mistake and that's that, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow. I don't want to spark the debate here again.More an excuse then anything, i genuinely think my vans brillant but comfort factor and losing 80 miles a tank isn't really that big a deal at all on a 1200mile stint, and the van doesn't make v8 noises
So, if you add the £90 that it's cost me to your Transit running cost over that journey, it makes it even smarter to listen to a v8 soundtrack. Perhaps I should get a Supercharged for the couple of times a year that I go into the misery zone.
As to what I have done with it, I replaced the CV joint on the NSF and the air spring also on the same corner on Saturday. That was a pleasantly easy job to do. Spent Sunday trying to get the slurry off it from last weekend's fun. I now need to clean my street before the Environments lot turn up and start asking questions.
