This should be easy enough as the floor was replaced last summer! are the hoses easy to get hold of and easy to fit? I may as well fit them anyway if I am at it? How far do they go? I know very basic mechanics. If they are sucking in air would they be slowing me down too? If I change them will it run better as in mph, get up and go and mpg?

--- Quote from: "Pete" ---Good place to start looking for air leaks is the filter near the back axle, pipes there tend to rust and become porous. Filter body can go the same way.

sounds like metal pipes then :( can they be rubber pipe with a jubilee clip over end of rubber and metal joint or am I being silly?

I have no tools to bed small pipes. bending pipes for copper pipes in a house for a shower for example, I have the tool for but not tiny copper stuff. :(

ianc:
IIRC when Matthew and me did your floor the conectors for the fuel lines at the tank were starting to look a bit iffy. might be worth checking them.

hobbit:
Another tack would be to have a look and the glow plug side

Power too them, and through to all of them

If necessary pull them out and check them individually
