JCs MK2 GL - Part II

[Diamond Hell]

Wonder if this has made it to work today.

Well as the very helpful man above has suggested, today was a trial run for the car after a disastrous saturday.

Got the Weber fitted, 





and the car broke down on my mate on the test drive 

It came back to life, so I collected it without issue.

Then on Saturday it broke down on me 3 times, and by process of Elimination and Part replacement and a call to the diamond isle, a faulty coil and or ignition amp was the cause. 

AT NO POINT was it recovered, so no piccies, a good hit on both of the above got it going welll enough to get it home, 

Today was its long range test after a few laps of the estate last night. and it made it despite a lot of puddles on the way.

so the Webers final fitment stages were completed and the CO level adjusted.

New up, lets see what MPG I get now, the last tank before weber change was 25 mpg

H'mmmm, one minor issue comparing Weber to Pierburg is that the Weber makes the car more fun to drive.

You'll need to be careful with that right foot to get comparable figures!

[Len]

.... and Chuff's right foot is heavy!

[JC]

You'll need to be careful with that right foot to get comparable figures!

erm, this car has never been driven carefully since my ownership 

[JC]

Took the car to work to re-check the CO levels and all was well 

Also refilled it and have done a tank to tank MPG and the weber despite a good trashing has returned a healthy 34.8mpg

decided to give it a quick once over too, my job does have one perk I suppose.



the end result once home
