Smell of diesel

Jimbo:

--- Quote from: "Hightower" ---Jim,

The presure regulator would be the best place to start.  They are known to fail.

I thought mine had gone earlier in the year, but thankfully it turned out to be something less serious (was the front axle breather spurting out oil for some reason).

If it is that, make sure they order the right one for your vehicle.  There are two variations.

I'm just putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 here.........I've got another problem whereby when I plant my right foot to the floor the auto box plays silly whatsits - it changes up a gear, and then back down, then up, then down........if I back off the loud pedal it changes up ok - I thought the 'box was on its last legs, but maybe its a fuel starvation problem, and maybe it's the pressure regulator.....????

One of the mags did a feature on changing the fuel pressure reg a few months back, IIRC it's a royal PITA to do - perhaps my tame mechanic fancies doing me yet another favour  :roll:

spillways on mine are leaking a good one as well, I have a trail of derv down the side ofthe engine they're that bad, how do you fix them and where can you get new spillways from :wink:

Tis just fuel hose but its a fiddly job. Cut the old ones off, cut new hose to length, slip them on (skin knuckles, gouge pipe end out etc) and jobs a goddun.

Ricky:
The hose is widely available, had my last ones from Halfords

RichardM:
or you could go in to Bearmach Gareth and get them ready made, part number is MJN100910, but that will cost you!
