I have these now in my shopping bag now, having never seen them before. I shall grab some more banjos and make up a spare link pipe to keep in the boot, just in case…

Thanks, yes the simple plastic pipe certainly looks better that having clamps on such a small piece of hose.

That looks like the exact kit I have, really appreciate that Jules! Will get a replacement on order. Many Thanks Neil

Thanks for the tip!

Not sure how the flood damaged the pipe, I presuming the water dislodged the red plastic pipe. It was a spectacular sight when I switched the car on as 2 very fine jets of fuel were aimed perfectly at the edge of the exhaust. Luckily the very noticeable smoke alerted me to the problem before I drove off. I was very surprised to find the red link pipe was not clamped in anyway and was relatively easy to separate from the banjo bolts. I’ve noted a few pictures in the forum of the exact same setup, but no issues resulting from the red plastic pipe? A temporary fix

Thanks Steve, I am near Cirencester, with the car over at Fairford at present. it looks like it should be a simple 5 min replacement/ repair, I just want to ensure I get the correct pipe. (ordering 2 would be a good idea, to keep one as a spare) I will see tomorrow if it can be clamped temporarily with a hose clip, to get it back home. Now of to google, Pirtex shops…. cheers Neil

During Storm Burt on Monday I found myself stranded with the TR6 in between flooded roads. i foolishly took the tr through a particularly deep section which it thankfully survived. As a result of teaching the car to swim the high pressure fuel line between the pump and filter has become damaged. it is the same as the one in the picture with a distinctive red plastic pipe, though mine is located in the wheel arch (taking the brunt of the splash) Would anyone know who supplies this kit, so that I may obtain a replacement pipe. The car is presently stranded (safel

Hi Phil, saw the badge on eBay, sent you a message there. All the best Neil

The 6 feels so roomy and civilised compared to the 3 but the 3 is just a blast to drive, always arriving or returning from any outing with a smile on my face…

The new ‘daily" and the "fun’ car

Thanks Roger Neil

After purchasing my first TR6 at the weekend I thought how fortunate to see an advert (very local) for spares in the classifieds… thinking I will probably need most of these parts over the next few years I contacted the seller (Mr Mahoney) to enquire I was told myself and Nigel? had enquired and he was looking for at least £100 for the parts and £150 for the seats. He explained he wanted to sell together, fair enough I thought! I therefore offered more than requested for just parts excluding the seats which I may have also taken, though would prefer mx5 seats. Today I

Now need to find a hardtop, maybe mx5 leather seats….

Now the proud owner of NRK, thanks to the classifieds on TRR. looking forward to adding some miles! Please wait while image is uploading...

My old 6 cylinder engine in the tr4 was completely dry and well behaved… My present 4 cylinder in my TR3 is far less respectful. Though I understand you should only worry when there are no oil drips, as it means it’s empty.
