Oh Dear... My T2 has upset the wife..

[Lazy-Ferret]

Looks like she may be ready to sign it's death warrant...

The car has more going wrong, than I have time to fix...

What with the leakoff pipes, then the Fuel pipe issues earlier in the year, then the brake issues, and the Aircon going while on holiday in Wales, the car has been on a short leash....

Today, coming back from Strumpshaw with the caravan on the back, and I lost all power on the M25, with torrential rain, and thunder and lightning going off all around. I managed to get onto the hard shoulder.

I looked for anything obvious, and got soaked, but could not see anything wrong. I got going again, but it was very hit and miss, and after a couple of miles she lost all power again.

I discovered that the water level was low, but the expansion tank was full.... I put a litre of water in to bring the radiator up, and managed to limp to Thurrock.

We filled up with fuel, and I checked the water again, and again there was a gap at the top of the rad... I put another 1/4 litre in and managed to get the car home.

I have no idea what is wrong with her, as the skies have been empting down, we had over 2" of rain in an hour.

So I have been told we will have to move all the holiday/ferret stuff over to Jiggley, and my car is in the dog house until I can convince Suz's the car is worthy again...

Couple of quick questions, regarding the fuel pipes.
I am thinking of ripping them out, and running new, front the back. I have never done a job like this, so will need to buy and learn how to use the tools etc. So, is it worth the hassle of running Copper, or just run a rubber pipe the whole way?
Secondly, I know the feed pipe is 6mm, and the return is 8mm, but is that inside or outside diameter?
