Today iv'e fitted the new front centre sphere, not as bad i i thought it was going to be !!, i deprssuerized the system , and put the chain wrench on , and to my amazement, it came undone with hardly any effort,




So after fitting it, it doesn't seem all that soft on the front, but matbe a good run will make a difference, BUT .. after fitting it all the hissing that i mentioned before HAS GONE !!!!.
It does not hiss at all, after getting used to it doing it !! , so it seems to have solved that, all i get now is a small very faint tick every 20-30 seconds, which is seem to remember ,is totaly normal . ..
So all that i need to do now is get a new set of ignition leads tomorrow, and see if it sorts out the small pinking iv'e got with it , since fitting new plugs a few weeks ago, !!!
Still got the dreaded manifold leak, but thats not so bad , as it stops leaking after a few minutes of running, so unless ( like you all say ), until it gets worse, i'm going to leave well alone !
