From memory a 1.6 doesn't have a fuel filter

[Jeff Turbo]

Pretty common blockages are now, and soon to be the norm as the cars get older. That's not a bad price to have it fixed and all working properly again, must cheaper the Damens lol

[Jeff Turbo]

I know frank and his son Chris. Nice people and a crackin car...

[Jeff Turbo]

Nicely done, how much was it to fix the tank and what company did the job? BTW don't forget to put a new fuel filter on it. I had the same issue in that the return was blocked on 2 of my cars but the symptoms were different to your. Fuel just blasted out the carb on a turbo and into the engine on my...

Just search your local exhaust fabricators

[Jeff Turbo]

Picked up the exhausts today, very nice and shinny. would post a pic or 2 up, but says files are too large. yet again. Doing that quite a bit lately

[Jeff Turbo]

I would get a stainless steel one made up...

[Jeff Turbo]

They're only final till the next time the prices change

[Jeff Turbo]

Has the gearbox been replaced in its life time?

[Jeff Turbo]

Hi Riggit. Glad to have you aboard, try posting up a few pics of your Maestro. and more details of it etc

[Jeff Turbo]

That's another thing done, 2 sets of exhausts and the extra rear box are ready to pick up. Happy days

[Jeff Turbo]

Put a decent battery on it and use it as much as you can...

[Jeff Turbo]

No worries, that's what forums are for. Loads of info on forums and much better that any Facebook page....

[Jeff Turbo]

And there is goes to have all under the door trim sorted...

[Jeff Turbo]

Another reason for a forum, good info there that won't fade away unlike Facebook

[Jeff Turbo]

Well that I wouldn't know as i don't know the car, the difference with an efi pump is it hasn't got the oil feed hole. You could just drill through the blank and tap it to fit the oil feed. Making sure all is clean after though

[Jeff Turbo]

You may need to tape something round it that will bend round a corner. I've used cable, wiring, old bath chain before now...

[Jeff Turbo]

There's a rubber grommet that pump pushes into in the tank, should see it near the bottom...

[Jeff Turbo]

It's through the top of the tailgate, there should be a hole coming out of the roof near the hinge into the tailgate...

[Jeff Turbo]

If it doesn't it'll blow the turbo up. The feed pipe is connected at the rear of the oil pump to the turbo via a 10mm metal pipe. Why do you ask?
