    Unfortunately I've just found a leak on a fuel hose so may have to ditch the show unless I can get it fixed beforehand :(

    I hope so, tho its off the petrol tank so may need the tank draining ?

    Depends if it's the tank fitting or the pipe, if it's the pipe no need to drain the tank, jack up that corner, remove the wheel and you can change it quick through the wheel arch without getting a face full of petrol, roll up you sleeves first though as you might loose a eggcup full down your arm.

    Cheers Zed,
    I'm very much hoping its the hose. Sadly I have I think an almost full tank. It seem to be a long piece of hose that attaches through the left hand back of the engine bay. I'm now thinking I should have got all the hoses changed at previous leak!
    (Ps. Listened to that cd yet?:) )

    Clip the hose near the tank, remove other end from the metal pipe that pokes through the tin to the gearbox side. Then attach new hose to metal pipe, run it over the gearbox to the tank outlet and do the swap quick. 5.5mm hose will push easily onto the tank outlet and barely leak if at all while you do up the clip.

    Yep listened to the CD now. Not really my thing, I'll pass it on to someone else. :)

    Thanks for replies :) sadly we set off today and 20 mins in and the brakes started to not work :( we stopped and then I saw the wheels smoking! Both rears. After fuel pipe change yday I had slight panic and had extinguisher at the ready!
    Fed up as van washed and looking good. We fancied a show day and hoped it would be a good selling day.
    Maybe breakdown man will fix it :)
