the problem was the nearside mount. One of the two 12 mm fine pins that go into the gearbox mounting had snapped causing gearbox to hang low.

Hello Everyone I have a really nasty vibration, sometimes when i first start the car (injector?) feels like a lumpy tick over but also when i pull away. I've checked underneath and there's a witness mark on the bell housing near the bottom torque arm dooffer . The bell housing is catching the mounting nut on the said dooffer. I'vechanged the mounting and the vibe is still there could it be a mounting somewhere else causing the engine to sit further back? regards Martin

The low pressure pipe has know been tig welded where i believe the leak is. When it was being welded you could see crap bubbling up nice clean repair know. See how it goes i'll upload pictures if somebody can tell me how?

thanks - i'm really torn with which way to go at the moment, the dye was actually under the rubber sleeve on the bend aswell as the snap fitting, the pipe is still holding pressure (no baths in our house tonight!) will air not leak when gas will? - i'm leaning towards changing the pipe. Just to add a curve ball - I/we have two galaxy's, we're off on hols next month and the wife wants the aircon working - fair enough - I start to repair galaxy 130 (cruise control!). 20mins ago she declares that we will need to drag the trailer with us - guess what - the 130 doesn't have the towing bracket! - oh joy. I'm thinking holiday without wife or trailer!

I had to change my turbo but i brought a cartridge for 120 (turbo technics) and cleaned the vains - took me a day. involved job but do-able,

good evening all, my air con doesn't hold its gas for more than a week , even though its been pressure test at 150 psi. I had the dye put in and there's a big green glow in the region of the low pressure pipe snap connector within the chassis rail. I removed the pipe (the bit which goes from the snap connector down to the compressor) capped off both ends, filled with 60psi air and shoved it in the bath! - no bubbles! Could it just be the three purple seals within the snap connector? Any input good people Martin
