there is a fuel saving in the region of 0.3 l/100km (or an extra 3.75 MPG)
I feel sorry for anyone who converts a Cerb to electric PAS expecting a 20% improvement in fuel economyI had had the dubious pleasure of driving home from Zolder with no PAS, and there was no perceptible difference in fuel economy
I do appreciate that on a small engined daily hydraulic PAS, aircon, heated seats etc are all going to affect economy
The Cerb fuel economy is so poor, that when I brought the Cerb back from Germany on the back of a truck, the truck used less fuel carrying the Cerb than the the Cerb would have done by itself
All a mute point here though,

Re your dailies, electric-hydraulic PAS was a passing fad, as were electric columns, now electric racks are the norm.
Jeez, I'm out of touch there then! I'll have to Google those.TwinKam said:

Jeez, I'm out of touch there then! I'll have to Google those.My neighbour (and his wife) are doctors who work in the local hospital
I don't know what their specialisations are, but he has been working in ICU
We sometimes chat in the garage because he has the space next to me where I am often under my car
The pic was from a few hours before we spoke, the crane is in his parking space
Last Thursday evening I asked how he was finding work, and he was obviously somewhat fatigued
He said three things that I found very interesting
If true though it really is a total game changer

He said three things that I found very interesting
- There was currently no problem with PPE where he works
- Nevertheless, he was still very concerned for his family's health as the continuous exposure to affected individuals not only raised the likelihood of him becoming infected, but more importantly the viral load would make it more serious and potentially life threatening despite his age/health profile
- He was aware of a case of re-infection
If true though it really is a total game changer

My gf helped me put the engine back in a couple of hours earlier
Still needs a lot of work putting the gbox back and fitting exhaust, cooling, and induction
Wonder whether my preferred MOT centre will still be open by the time it's finished
That's great news that your engine is back in, you do incredibly well with the space you have . Still needs a lot of work putting the gbox back and fitting exhaust, cooling, and induction
Wonder whether my preferred MOT centre will still be open by the time it's finished

Our Mazda 6 was in for service and MOT yesterday, delayed until today, now Mazda dealer is shut. I managed to get hold of them and they've done the MOT and released the car, luckily, but they are taking on no more work.Still needs a lot of work putting the gbox back and fitting exhaust, cooling, and induction

Been having this conversation down here, BMW, Mazda and Toyota to name a few. They'll be open again in a couple of days... when they've worked out that no one can live without their cars; not doctors, not nurses, not hospital cleaners, not pharmacists, not supermarket shelf stackers, not dustmen going to work, not everyone else simply needing to get the shopping in... whilst avoiding public transport.
The Gov has recognised that the motor trade is an essential occupation even if the main dealers haven't yet; the indy side is still working to keep people mobile, but we can't do that without parts, and occasionally we do need OE parts that the factors can't provide...

Not taking any chances with the Reverse Switch wiring after it melted last year
But I haven't replaced the release bearing even though I have a spare bearing
It spins freely, but there is lot of wear where it presses on the fingers
I didn't want to disassemble the entire assembly as I don't have any spare seals and didn't want to risk damaging them
I hope I don't end up regretting that

I'm here if there is enough interest. Just got to finish off stainless steel fuel filter and fuel pump mounts.
I definitely like the look of that pump mount, but I need to ensure that I can include some rubber mounts as the original fittings welded to the chassis are damaged on my carI would be wary of any additional sleeving that might increase the chance of it overheating
Please PM me with a price when you have a chance - thanks
