[doc] Rich H and Chrispy to the rescue :o)

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

today, during day 2 of the Belper show, which was definately hotter 
then yesterday, Rich H and I decided to take a closer look at 
Flopsy's driver's door and tried to get it to latch better, however 
it seems that the door locks are buggered, so a new pair are going to 
be aquired from a scrappy in Derby :o)

Rich also decided to have a look at the timing on Flopsy and found 
that was 2 degrees out and duly rectified this too.  Top bloke!

However, whilst attending to the timing there was a "why is the top 
of the CPR wet...why is there petrol coming from that hose... (engine 
swiftly turned off).  Rich discovered, that one of my swanky 3yr old 
fuel hoses that goes from the CPR to the top of the metering head was 
leaking where the banjo fitting goes into the hose.  In fact, when 
the hose was removed, little effort was needed to pull the banjo 
fitting out of the hose...worrying for a high pressure part of the 
fuel system :o(  Unfortunately, this particular hose was probably 
about the only thing not lurking under Rich's bonnet, so Phill phoned 
Chris P who gave us the great news that he had a selection of fuel 
hoses and yes I could have one.  Rich duly went and fetched the hose, 
fitted it on and all is well again.  I shudder to think what could 
have happened as a result of fuel spraying down onto a very hot 
exhaust manifold though.....

All I can say is huge thanks to Rich and Chris P for getting me out 
of a potentially dangerous situation today.  Thank you.

Regards,

Claire
