Hydrolocking & Top Engine Mount (Actually Fuel Lines and Exhaust)

[Eeyore]

Right here we go!

So I lost 3/4 of a tank of fuel and I checked the fuel lines and one had disconnected. I moved it a bit and more fuel started coming out. It was previously held together with cable ties and a few crap jubilee clips.



So I have cut off all the cable ties, removed the clips etc cleaned the pipes. They were wrapped up in some conduit wrap and were covered in black sticky stuff. Imagine that somebody had coated it all in sikaflex and then just stuffed conduit over it. I put the pipes back together and put on two new jubilee clips and di them out tight. Pipe is tight inside the other pipe now so shouldnt come apart. Also i found a little blue clip to replace the broken oem one.



There was a branch lodged under the centre exhaust pipe so i pulled that out. Centre pipe had come off its hangar and the backbox was only held on with one hangar. Couldnt get it back on by hand so jacked up the exhaust to get it on. Started the car up and there is hardly any knocking now. yay! Fixed!
Turned the key and yay it lives!
