Jonn removed the fuel filter of our 1968 Lotus Cortina and cleaned it thoroughly before refitting and securing it. He turned on the ignition to check for leaks and discovered that the rear carburettor was leaking at the fuel union. After tightening and retesting, the issue was resolved.

He then fitted a new wheel trim to the nearside rear. Taking the vehicle outside, Jonn ran it up and carried out a road test. Upon returning to the workshop, he adjusted the mixture and idle, retested, and found everything seemed fine. He planned to let workshop manager, John take it later to confirm the results.
