I've looked through the receipts for the car and it has a fairly recent one for a Bailey piston type d/v and comparing the d/v on my car to one on a friends which is a diaphagm type this would appear to be the case. So why the bleed valve?
I'm not sure if the d/v is what is causing the other problem of when I stick my foot down sometimes, it sounds like loads of air / boost is leaking from somewhere, then all of a sudden it's like something snaps shut and it goes hell for leather. Ideas?
