She's alive!

Or just disconnect at the engine end and extend to a catch tank and let the fuel pump lift it out?

Trouble is that the pump only runs for a few seconds if the engine doesn't start. You could keep turning the ignition on and off but I think I'd get tired of that quite soon with the small amount that cones out.

Twas but a thought.

And my hope that there was no anti-syphon device was in vain, its not possible to get a syphon in

The good news is that my technique of going to bed and leaving it over night has worked, the revs are now down to 750. I guess a sensor or valve was stuck and has freed itself up

Still got a steamy exhaust and something rumbling at the front of the engine though

1. Front wheel bearing, I must have loaned my own hub tool out a while back so I am having to wait for my favourite store to get some back in on Tuesday.

2. O2 sensor, ordered from distributor

3. Bleed brakes (new calipers have been fitted)

4. Head gasket test kit. Ordered and should tell me if the steam in the exhaust is of concern. Water system is fine, no loss of water and no over pressure but I get stream from the exhaust.

The above should get me to MOT test. I will then get the garage to change the clutch ( I hate the Jimny clutch change having done it once)

5. Interior re-fit

Its possible but you'd need a Suzuki scan tool to check the target idle.

I will wait until I have a new lambda sensor in, it was idling ok today for some reason

Hurrah!

I did think it would sort its self out but through use, not sleep. It's had enough sleep!

Just make the journey to the MOT station a long one to get the exhaust nice and hot and to evaporate all that moisture sat in it and I reckon it will be fine. Testing the coolant will settle your mind but I've only heard of one twin cam head gasket having let go. You read more than I do though.

Do part the back box from the exhaust and see what pours out though as I've found that's where a lot of the moisture collects. Mine has dripped from there before being re-sealed for the MOT but the moisture means it's needed sealing twice now. New bolts and some exhaust paste will be needed though.
