Rough Idle - traced to road side repair
I had some 'issues' a few years ago on the drive to Le Mans classic. Being a true mechanic I got the AA to fix the first big one - air intake hosing disconnected itself following the fitting of a non-standard intake manifold and copious use of jubilee clips.
The second one was possible caused by the AA man struggling to get my bodge reconnected properly. There was a split in the rubber hose.
I did a quick road side fit with gaffer tape and zip ties with the promise to replace it when I got home.
Just off to GSF to pick up the £14 replacement. Only a few years late and actually to fix a new split from the one I originally fixed. Got to love gaffer tape and zip ties.
