  1. Had the car up today fuel lines look in good nick, no smells from near the tank area. I found the line from the fuel rail to the regulator is damp, touching it and smelling you can tell its fuel on the outside of the hose so I'm going to replace the hose. The rest of the return line after the regulator doesn't seem to smell. I believe it's 8mm ID for this hose so I'll get one ordered. Really hoping this fixes the smell but can't seem to see it weeping. Finding it hard to believe this hose is causing all this smell. You can smell it about 2 feet from the engine bay. Thi
  2. I've had a good look today smell is pretty obvious now from the engine bay since its stopped raining. I'm new to these cars is there any diagrams I could check. No obvious leaks from what I could tell fuel reg ticked a little but I'm assuming that's normal felt for drips and smells but still can't find the culprit. Very strong odor inside the motor when it's running. Afr reads 14.1 then when it's warm 18.4 car doesn't feel down on power and it starts right up.
  3. Might be worth mentioning if the AC is on then its not really noticeable but with it off it becomes nauseating after a few minutes of driving.
  4. I've noticed a fuel smell in the car, it gets quiet strong as you drive. After its been parked for a few hours you can still smell it more towards the passengers door. Popping the bonnet I can't really smell anything and I've not noticed any leaks yet but it's been pouring the past few days so hard to tell. Fuel system depressurised as expected after opening the fuel cap. Could it be a dodgy filter. It has a fpr mounted over the dipstick so drivers side I couldn't smell or noticed any drips or wetness around or in it. Not sure where to go from here.
  5. Hey, I've been a long time lurker and now I'm finally an owner of a Black 96 spec forged Glanza. Last few owners seem to have been about Burnley, Accrington and Bury forge was done back in late 2016 at R E performance in Bury. Just curious if anyone is familiar with the car. PLATE: N269JNO
  6. Sorry don't want to bombard this section of the forums with threads what are peoples thoughts on this motor that's popped up Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/374014244014737
  7. I'm looking at getting this as my first glanza. I've been after one for about three years now and I'm finally in a position where I can buy but my max budget is 4k with insurances so it's really £3500 Apparently the rebuild was bottom end, I'm worried with the apparent bhp and mileage that it's a time bomb. The seller sounds like a garage seems nice enough and only 15 miles away. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333771602449 Opinions appreciated.
