Hi all
Happy new year
I hope all you folk in the WRONG hemisphere are enjoying your snow  
tyres as much as I'm enjoying my aircon!
I smelt something...
Fuel dripping out of the swaged connection between the braided hose  
and the solid fuel line coming from the firewall to(or is that from?)  
the fuel filter. Hmmm raw fuel near hot turbo thingy, I don't think so!
So I cut it off and crimped on a new braided hose with those crimps  
you squeeze with end nippers (forget what they are called sorry) and  
all is well. My question is can that be called a permanent repair or  
do I need to take it all off and get a high pressure swage back on.
Ski some pow pow for me...
