I think because I used it daily for 4 years it makes it worse because no other cars compare lol

Problem is its being stored outside at my uncles house which is an hour drive and my dad can only weld it in his spare time which is basically never :( I'll wait years more if I have to but doesn't half suck, especially as I'm starting a new job working for a classic car parts company so makes me miss it even more!

Fuel trap to ECU. Sorted it now, but my Mini seems to eat the elbow joints haha. Not pushing them on to tightly either.

At one point I got so fed up I used washer tubing! Worked pretty well to be honest until the fuel vapour started to react with it!

Nice - was looking around for an alternative, but didn't think about it reacting to the fuel vapour! Just going to keep a supply of the tubes and joints!

That's fine. It's going to a mechanic so doesn't matter what condition it's in but so hard to find one :(
