    Scared from Bristol!

    looks like I dropped on with mine, it was advertised on gumtree for 2500, I had to meet them at the lr specialist that did the mot work as that was where the disco was. I think they needed the money as soon as I paid for it they gave 1170 to the garage owner for the mot work

    yes I checked the height its fine, I think ive found the culprit. there is another filter fitted to the pump body itself the pump assembly has to be dismantled to get to it, as you can see below its well bunged up with black crap.
