If it's just the fuel pipes and nowt else, mine only took 2-3 hours to get done and Dinotrol(l?)ed so they last a while.
Just read cacaolat's post. Having learnt 'stuff' from the forum and experience, I never, ever go underneath without axle stands. Yesterday I had a go...

Fair enough, it probably makes sense to do both sides if one is looking knackered as you've suggested & have found out.
The Mk1 is getting very clonky at the front end. Some of that is probably a worn track rod end (on the to do list) though I'm hoping the clonk I can...

you can support the car on axle stands with a piece of wood on top of them under the chassis rail just behind the sub frame,
mind you choke the rear...

The steering has gone very juddery on the BX - when turning the wheel and not moving forward. Sure it didn't do that before. Raising the revs doesn't...

It might have been a schoolboy error all along. Just had another go at the belt tension. I think I'd been levering in the wrong place before and not...
Hi, I recently purchased 2 remanufactured front sphere's on eBay but on arrival they are different sizes (one is more egg shaped than the other)....
Last post
I'll stand corrected, i've only ever had good service & haven't had a sphere fail, so perhaps i've been lucky. Seems odd to have a 3yr warranty that...

In that case I don't think it's the same as the OP, as his is the one going to the lower port on the heater tap. Either way I find it easier reaching...
Hi everybody it looks like I have a Lucas diesel pump on my bx tzd can I use waste veg oil or not ? or will I risk knackering my pump?
