:eek::eek::eek: Well it's definitely getting blocked then Tony ;)

cheers for the input as always guys .It's getting blocked off in the morning :)

If i blank both ends until a new pipe arrives what are the implications ?? Would it be better to disconnect vacuum pipe or leave on??

Think i will need to make a blanking plate for inlet man where pipe fits and same for exhaust man ,remove pipe for now and see how she runs. Dunno if it will bring a light on but cant be worse on fuel than it is right now.

Cheers mate Ed

Where did you see that one dave?

Think it will be getting repaired rather than blanked off.

Cheers wammers will give them a ring in the morning

TBH the pipe and bellmouth are pretty thin and flimsy but i think it would have lasted a lot longer if the bracket had been fitted in the middle. Bugger , need to look for a new one i suppose.

Cheers mate,looking forward to it.

+ 1 on wammers check ,and you will still need to do at least the rear bags or it will just knacker the compressor again ,though as the others have said do all 4 and forget them for years :)

I've just bought a '71 in boxes to restore :). Between that and the RR some people might think i am a glutton for punishment. :D

Leaky rear bags mate

Jim, i have a Nanocom here if you want to come over and we can have a look. Ed

+1 on the cracked manifold. Take the heat shield off and you should be able ,maybe ,to see a thin black line,thats the bugger. The manifold usually expands enough when hot to seal the crack enough to stop the blow ;)

That's tellin' im Bix :D:D:D:D:nopics:

think you might have unplugged the wrong wire. just remove the blue one (i think) and try it again
