Can braided,flexible brake lines replace copper pipe?
Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:13:17 +0000
My van has failed its MOT today on a corroded brake line. It is around 6
foot long, and is rather tortuous in its path, so much so, that I'm not
sure if it is possible to replace it without dismantling anything that
is bolted on that side of the van.
A thought occured, could braided flexible lines, as used on moto ...

I may not get a chance to look under the bonnet.

Audi 100 2.3E avant 1988 fuel pump - part 2
Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:45:15 +0100
I asked here about a month ago about fuel pump location for '88 Audi
100 2,3E. I found it, and it looks like it died. When I turn the key
there is +12V for few seconds at the terminal I marked (+) here:

valve" isnt working correctly.
1) any other possible explanations?
2) Any way of testing?
3) Approx how much do new ones cost?
ta for any help

Wheel bolts
Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:31:08 GMT
I've fitted 5mm spacers to my BMW fronts so the inside edges don't rub on
extreme full lock (i.e. they only rub if you are holding it hard against

with 3mm spacers but I couldn't be arsed to go round the loop several
times.
