S84 Interior, clutch pump and fuel pump

Hi, there ... back again with new update. Since most of my friend's already in holiday mood, I finally have some time to update my blog ... for those who keep viewing and learning from my blog, thank you very much ... Really hope my experience can be use in good cause ...

Enough of that, so what's new to this year??

Done some refurbish on the interior. Open and redo back the FRP on the air cond panel ... looks ugly before though.
After some touch ups ..
But still I'm not satisfied ...

Last month while driving, my clutch pump leaks ... due to that, I cannot free my gear ... panic a while then remember to hump the pump few times until it' release the clutch. Thank God, if not I may end up in a drain ... If let the engine switch of while gear engaged, my LSD gearbox will go to the drain ... park a side the road and check what happen.

Both pumps is not working already, a lot of grease inside ...
 
 
Here a clear picture 

 Wondering how am I gonna drive the car to work shop without calling tow truck?? My wild guess was to bleed again and it works, sure I didn't keep any of the fluid brake spare. So what do I use? Just plain mineral water ... don't try this on your car, it just work for a while only. Enough for you to find help.

After all the modification, forgot to install any security alarms ... lucky I remember and here how it looks to re-wire back the cobra alarm system ... all wire are in  BLACK color!!! ... damn!


After a while, my fuel indicator got some issue like intermittent. I was fooled by the meter few times, end up pushing my car to the road side due to out of petrol and my meter say "still got half" ... so Installed external fuel level meter
and that doesn't help also. Opened the S84 fuel tank, take out the pump assembly ... trying to figure out what went wrong ???



Test a few times by pulling the floater up and down, the fuel meter moves as well. Few crazy ideas flying into my head and one of it to dip it in water ??!! Of course water and gasoline density was not the same but at least I want to see for myself if Archimedes principle works or not. In other words, does it floats or the gasoline run in small whole on the floater ...

After quite some time, my friend bought a CF4 complete front cut including fuel tank. Just wondering if the tank was the same or not ... pluck out the fuel pump assembly and who would have guess it, it fits nicely in S84 fuel tank. The only different was, CF4 fuel pump assembly is a bit short than the original S84. Nevermind, as long as I don't have to push my car to road side again ...
