Thinking it would be the easiest job in the world, i started to fit the valve. "Cut the vacuum servo hose- coming from the brake servo" - it said. So i found this pipe coming from that area, and began to cut. Oh ****, wats this clear liqiud dripping out of the pipe? it smells of petrol...?? Yep i cut the bloody fuel pipe! And right after i'd cut the thing, I spotted the correct pipe to cut- typical.
Anyway i made a temp fix, but just found out it didnt really work so ive got no car for a week- its goin in on monday and im hoping it wont void the warranty...even tho i dont have the valve fitted
So, the lesson- get a haynes manual/ a person that knows or has done it b4, dont rush into it- have a good look round the engine bay 1st and that even the cleverest of people (ahem) make mistakes
EVERYONE- SPRAY YOUR PUNTOS BLACK
