Re: Winscreen Wiper initiallaly splutters

Thanks for your assistance. It is a DR3A motor. I've cleaned out and regreased the the crank and wheel area and that has resolved the spluttering and all appears good there now :D The wipers won't move, so as you said, it is probably more grease issues elsewhere. I'm off to refer to the manual to se...

Winscreen Wiper initiallaly splutters

When the windscreen wiper motor starts it initially splutters, moving about 5degs and stopping a few times, before it kicks into its normal action, this is with the wiper linkage disconnected from the motor. If the linkage is connected then it splutters once it twice and then stops (the blades don't...

Re: Spotted today.

Not only just seen but just been overtaken by a blue Saloon NNF 917F driving down the Christchurch Bypass at 7am (I was driving a non minor) . The only down side was it had no brake lights :( .

Saw 2 Travellers around Salisbury this evening.
A Bomb Disposal Coloured one heading south on the A338 at about 17:30 & a Black D Reg parked outside the law courts 19:00 ( I then looked in my garage to complete the hat-trick :wink: )

Re: Is this legal

It's against Ebay rules to sell a V5 without a car; I don't know the legal situation.

Brake Servo Sticking

After driving for a while my brakes start intermittently sticking (when the brake stick on the peddle is up and has no movement when first pressed). The cylinders were replaced recently so my guess is that it is to do with the servo. Is there any way of quickly disabling the servo (to identify if it...

Re: Speedo Cable Keeps Falling Out

Thanks for the reply, the inner looks fine so going for a new cable sounds the quickest solution.

Speedo Cable Keeps Falling Out

Every so often (and becoming more regular) the inner speedo cable keeps coming out of the main unit (the outer cable is still tight). Does the inner cable come in different lengths (if not does anyone know the correct length) or have any ideas why this would happen?

Thanks

Re: Speedo & Switch

Thanks for the info :) Checking the chassis Number looks like it should be a SN4407/00 1504 which doesn't have an indicator light. Engine is 948 (assume diff is 4.55 but not sure how to check) The switch is on a stork with an amber light near to the steering column (which illuminates constantly). I'...

Speedo & Switch

Hi, Please could you help me with a few questions regarding my 58 traveller. 1) Is the speed is correct for a 58 Traveller? The Indicator light doesn't feel correct (especially since I've only trafficators fitted) the numbers on it are SN4401/15 1500. 2) The speedo is 20mph out (i.e the needle doesn...
