Recently I've been noticing the smell of fuel inside the car, and towards the rear end. I've checked all the lines, injectors, the lines and fittings all around the tank (including under...
All good Adrian. I might give it another go your way at some stage, triple check everything and stay the looser side of the tolerance ranges. There's no doubt the engine was quieter like that, and it...
