    On a rebuilt engine the first few seconds running are CRITICAL!!!! Even in everyday cars; most of your wear is on cold start up until the oil gets pumped around the engine! On ANY modern vehicle the MOST UNKIND thing you can do to them is NOT SERVICE them with Top Quality oil!!

    sure by now you have lifted the carpet in left footwell, removed the speaker lower left and found the AC Compressor "Lockup" black box. having noticed the damage on the fuel pump fuses, in my opinion whilst welding up the sill jacking point directoly below the faktory jacking point round hole (covered on yours with metal plate) It was this unit that had fried wires.Resulting in the melting of the fuse holders for fuel pumps, AC fuse is right next to them!! That AC unit need the wiring changed a wee bit. see the forums. Straight forward once the burnt wirrs are fixed, p.s I am just about to re-do the brake lines as I used SAE tooling instead of the DIN Type flare required for the M10 nipples, The M19 nut dont put sufficient pressure on the connection due to the angle on the backside of the SAE bubble flare being tapered. DIN type has a 90 degree flat surface to match the Nut. Imperial SAE have a taper! All the cars i had so far have been Imperial so, anyway glad to have found out why the connections leaked even with very tight fittings. we live and learn⛑
