Diesel Leaking ! 158,498 Miles

Got home from shopping yesterday and thought there was a rather excessive smell of diesel.
Opened the bonnet to find the Diesel return line from the injectors was leaking.

Today i bought some small bore fuel hose and replaced what was there. The hose in question is 7.5mm OD / 3.5mm ID rubber, with a cloth sheath. This was a tad tricky at times ( had to remove breather pipe and breather) but none too bad.

Cost was 80p per Foot ! Glad to see these measurements still appearing in life !

Whilst at the local motor factors I bought some ATF at £6 per litre, and DOT4 Brake Fluid at £3 for a half litre. Much, much cheaper than Halford's !

Friday - weather permitting - Andy is gonna help me change steering box. Looking forward to the coffee !
