Yo all! My car is LHD. The hydraulic line for the clutch consists of a section of copper pipe and a short flexible hose next to the slave. While restoring my car I couldn’t find the original setup, so I replaced it with a single, long section of flexible hose.
Now I suspect the inner diameter is too small. The pedal is heavy to depress and slow to release, which is consistent with the hose being too restrictive.
I can make a hard line myself, as long as I know the dimensions, and buy a short section of brake hose to go with it.
What size pipe and fittings to use? And where to get a suitable flex line?

Spotted a Chrono Grey LE by Tesco North Harbour near Portsmouth today, looked a lot like the one that Anglia Car Auctions had last week.
If it was I'm wishing I'd bid on it!!! Anyone on here? I’ll quote myself as seen this car again…was out for a walk tonight and spotted where it lives. It really is spotless and think it might have been the one that had the spare no expense resto on here a few years ago. T***VGB ETA: Yes it is the Anglia Car Auction car

Strange one. Definitely try changing the plugs to NGK BKUR 7ETs to see if this solves the problem.
In the past I have been in a Coupe that has run higher boost with the old plugs (6ETs), and especially in the morning or when cold (weather) the car would for a split second "stall" under acceleration, which was quite concerning as it felt almost catastrophic. Initially we turned the boost down and this "cured" the problem, but as soon as the boost was turned back up the sudden "stalling" on acceleration re-appeared. Next step was to change the plugs to a colder type "7ET", this immediately cured the problem, we put boost back upto 1.3/1.4 bar with no noticeable problems. Strange one.

The gearstick cover is easy. Undo the button and velcro, and push the leather base downwards to release. Unfortunately this is not the case with the h/brake cover, you will need to remove the whole casing and then the rivets which hold it in place. When removing it bear in mind there are two front fixings which are accessed by removing the window switches; luckily you're taking out the gearstick cover to access them from underneath

Just love the colour of that stone Oh, it's seen some life has this barn! Built in the 1890's, just before our house I think (it has it's own address, despite being within our grounds), was used as part of a builders merchants until the early 70's I believe and then was used for commercial saw sharpening / minor engineering works until about 2000. The walls have seen some abuse, have been part plastered where benches were, but have gradually gained a significant layer of dirt (although I did vacuum a large part of it in the 'garage' end) But, as you remark, the Charente stone has a nice warm colour to it. The house is built from the same stuff! Paul

Greetings
I found an old post about which 3.8 bar fpr to use, the post says a 3.8 bar fpr with the number 0280160587 bosch. If so, should the one I linked above be wrong?
I would also like to add it to my shopping list, but I am not sure if it is the right one. It would be appreciated if someone could confirm this, so as not to lead other users down the wrong path and guide them to buy the wrong one.
Thanks.
