Before anyone else says it - get rid of those jubilee clips and use proper hose clips. Thanks! Did you mean something like this? https://www.halfords.com/tools/fuses-electricals-and-fixings/fixings/halfords-petrol-hose-clips-209973.html?istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istFeedI...

Thanks, its it a leak from the filter itself. Have ordered a replacement.

Hi,

I have just noticed some fuel on the ground under my van. It seems to be tricking down the fuel filter onto the cables and on the ground.

Any suggestions on how to fix this please?

As Aidan said, it is a pain to refill, have a check around the cap, any overflow will sit in the surface around it and be held in place by the lip of the reservoir, always worth wiping this area with a tissue to absorb any overflow. Thanks! It could possibly be from oil drip from a recent Steering ...

had you recently topped up and spilt a bit, it takes a while to percolate down and it's not the easiest to fill as the screen is where you really want the bottle and your hand to be Thanks Aidan, haven't topped it recently but just remembered that I had the Steering Column Bearing changed and could...

Thanks for those tips, will give it a try tomorrow

I am no boffin on this subject, but if you had a leak and it has now stopped without doing anything I would investigate further.  If the vehicle is left standing for a while without using it there will probably be little pressure on the lines, but as soon as you use it braking, changing gear depres...

Thanks! Should I worry if the level is just the max level mark and the oil leak seems to be stopped?

Do you mean the one behind the clocks? It's just below the max level

Took a drive this morning and does not seem to leak anymore. Could it be possible that the oil has all drained out? Clutch seems a little less stiff but drives perfectly otherwise. No apparent leaks on the pipes or clutch/brake pedals

Hi,

Have a leak on the floor mat possibly from the brake fluid reservoir? Only happens after a drive. Is it ok drive with this leak?

Thanks! It was a faulty joint in the wiring. Working perfectly fine now
