Excellent news, keep an eye on it for the next week or so, you might find there is still a bit of air in there that will slowly come up to the surface so require a bit of additional top up. At this point though I would say you’ve got the bulk of it out if not all though.

Okay maybe not sorted on oil leak unless that’s still what’s loosened up after giving it a bit of a rinse and drive

Tried cleaning up the bottom of the sump, also went round checking tightness, and the front four I was able to actually get to tighten up a touch more unlike the rest and I suspect if it is sump gasket it was from the front so fingers crossed that nip up might have sorted it, doubt it but you...

While I haven't done it, I don't see why using some sort of flexible pipe wouldn't work as long as it fits and gets a good seal there shouldn't be any issue at least with how the car runs. French MOT wise might have other ideas though maybe @Mark Piercy or @Datatek would know more about if...

I believe @Mark Piercy speaks french so he may be able to help too.

That was my first thought though at the time I looked at it I couldn't work out which one was meant to be the starter relay from the lid, I did try pulling a bunch that had the engine symbol with a lightning bolt through it so presumably one of them was bound to be that and it still did it but...

Had email back from BBS this morning asking for the SN on the back to possibly start an RMA. I haven't fully decided what I want to do with P38A yet especially with having the lpg leaks. Though a mate is gonna mention it to someone at work that wanted to buy his basically scrap for £1k so thats...

Pretty much what the other guys had have said, plenty of squeezing of the top hose while off can help a great deal, Even if you can just lift corner of the car with the expansion bottle with a jack or something helps to make sure the bottle is at the highest point which air naturally wants to...

Let's just say I'm no stranger to a stay in the local nut house so I was already bonkers before hand. Though with all the stress of it a couple of weeks ago I was close to putting myself back in. I should do the smart thing and just get rid if only for my own health but part of me doesn't want...

Oh I’m aware but I meant in regards to having an airlock in the heater matrix I find it gives no heat out the vents unless revved as the extra flow from the pump helps force hot water in and when let off it very quickly cools down again until air is completely out of it. I also found when...

And to top it all off after I though I had sorted all the leaks out and it was me being paranoid with lpg leaking into coolant it turns out I do still have lpg leaks… they’re leaking out of the vapourisier casings.

well had a look through the old coolant and was very clear/ well blue but very little in the way of debris however there was a small amount of copper flecks in it so at somepoint it's had k seal either in radiator or engine and has been probably flushed out countless times since then hence just...

Already tried that too. Sent an email to them.

Already tried, absolutely nothing, got a little bluetooth dongle was able to connect that to the car and that was able to read a bit of data so obviously ports all working fine. Just the nanocom that has given up

Well thermostat is on, had some trouble with air lock in lpg and heater matrix hopefully gone now i've put the car up a grass hill, waiting for it to cool down. In worse news nanocom has gone kaput, will not power on. Fuse 33 not blown, even tried using a 12v powerbrick to the units power port...

That's your name don't wear it out. Though I know how you feel this oil leak on mine is proving hard to diagnose especially since I cleaned it up the other week it seems fine including on a long journey no spots after words sump was dry and dip stick said I hadn't lost any and now back to sump...

Little bit of a further update just got it up to temp what it seems to max out on anyway which is not quite 12 o clock on the dial by idling for about 45 mins. Opened the bonnet to check hoses and what not and unlike before where the coolant would push much further down from the cold mark...

Yeah already planned on doing that. Had no dispatch email again from island today about the thermostat so might just ring up local motor factors and see if one of them happens to have on on the shelf though when I did mates a couple of months ago they didn’t. If they do I’ll just get it and...

Well a bunch of stuff I ordered from island 4x4 weeks ago finally came today so fitted new pollen filters and used some self adhesive draft excluders to seal them on the covers. Redid the ptfe on the hose Barb for the reducer Barb I replaced last month as there was still a slight leak but no...

Oh interesting, my copy of rave only mentions the 0.5 to1.5mm. I actually used the cruise for pretty much 2 hours the other day and while it did swim a little it wasn’t too bad. Maybe I’ll try increasing it to 4mm and see if that helps mine.
