sshhhhhhhhhhhhh now barry, it gets a hard time - and 127k on its original waterpump aint bad

Shame this should be ONE PIECE

cost more than the camblet kit and w/pump

but explains the vibration and chattering noise

well looks like i might have finally started nailing the coffin sh!t on this.

EML light on, fuel pressure rail fault.

if its the high pressure pump breaking down, thats game over due to it wrecking the injectors, and the faf involved cleaning the whole system out

hey ho, it lasted well knowing the abuse its been given and lasted longer than a lot of its newer sibling Insignias we have had thru work

Fingers crossed a job interview goes well next week and it could be scrapped and replaced by me walking to work
