I am up for it, the wagon has its new brake pads and is up for a meet. What kind of date are we talking ? My 'cold weather solution' will be ready for unvailing in about 10 days I reckon. Just need to do some fridge tests. I am confused by the tool (more so than the other tool !), if its for undoing the hard fuel lines how does a socket work ? Wont the line itself get in the way ? Or am I confused ?

Member Posts: 798 Group: Members Member #2,484 Joined: April 4, 2008	I was thinking either saturday 10th or sunday 11th? I've also got a few spare injectors if anyone needs a spare?

Enthusiast Posts: 1,464 Group: Members Member #789 Joined: January 4, 2007	Ok have a read through these. The line separates from the 'pressure valve' and then you pop the socket on top. Tbh it doesn't look like a difficult job providing removing and refitting the inlet manifold doesn't turn into a bitch. Guide to changing the pressure valve seals. LINK A nice PDF breaking the pressure valves down.. LINK And another guide for replacing the ones on the fuel lines LINK Ok the guides are for the OM606 which was the multi vale engines in the late 124's but its the same thing. Oh Oh and a nice Merc diagram too: Edited by stwat, Sun Sep 27, 2009 11:08 pm.

Member Posts: 798 Group: Members Member #2,484 Joined: April 4, 2008	then shall we say sunday 11th. Btw, i tried changing the fuel line o rings with the viton and it really isnt a good idea on 603's! This website tells you which o rings need relacing on the 603's. The fuel line ones are metal whereas the 606's are rubber!

Member Posts: 798 Group: Members Member #2,484 Joined: April 4, 2008	i bought some new ones from the dealer. The oem ones seem to be ok and if needed i wouldnt mind changing every couple of years. At least i know it's a perfect fit!!

My road currently has a load of roadworks with no through access so we can sprawl the veg cars all over the place and not worry. Let me get a handle on whether my car is actually going to be there, depending on engine swop, etc. See The Never Ending Story Edited by 190D 2.5, Mon Sep 28, 2009 10:36 am.

Admin Posts: 16,348 Group: Admin Member #147 Joined: January 20, 2006	The sunday is probably good for me. Are non-veggies allowed or do they have to be initiated by the ceremonial of smearing veg on them and making them drink WVO through a used rubber hose (like most of us have probably done at one point or another ) I understand the tool now, excellent. My current one doesnt leak too badly but my 2.0 did. The first link is a great walkthrough, but whats with the guys thumbs

Admin Posts: 16,348 Group: Admin Member #147 Joined: January 20, 2006	I think we are talking about the 11th, which is 13 days. I am not sure about this weekend as I have a stinking cold 11th is best for me. Not too early as I may be towing jeremy's dinosaur juice powered planet killer to hackney in the morning. Combine up the 2 events.

If it has tits or an engine it will be trouble Posts: 13,258 Group: Members Member #348 Joined: June 15, 2006	nezamr Mon Sep 28, 2009 10:12 am I cant do this sunday! I was thinking midday next sunday? Where is Rich27 btw? I will provide the veggie oil to cover the cost of travel! Thank you for that offer but I dont think I will be able to make it as the good old NHS want me back in on Sunday the 4th for some more surgery on the Monday. The letter has just flopped through the door so it looks like my Consultant has arranged enough time for me to be clear of toncilitus before going ahead, at least I dont have another 6 month wait. Which is nice. I dont think I will be able to make it Edited by Rich27, Mon Sep 28, 2009 10:59 am.
