Hi all, Well the car started up easily enough after six weeks, but luckily I noticed a MASSIVE petrol leak. It turned out that one of the fuel lines had split. I am seriously concerned about the quality of the fuel line that I used, and I think that before I put the car back on the road I will change them again for the highest available quality.
