Thanks for the response.
It’s definitely not the coil as I tested that on the van and it started perfectly.
What do you mean by not having a good spark at the points?

Hello
I have a 1098 on a trolley after reconditioning it. It did start well and ran for a bit. Now I have a good spark at the points and not at the plugs. I have swapped dizzy and leads and rotor arm from van that works fine and still the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

Thanks for the post. I have a dynamo and multi meter. I have never heard the clicking before and something is definitely wrong because the ignition light flashes when the clicking occurs.

Hello all. The ignition light starts to slightly flash when I pick up the revs and then goes off again. This flashing is accompanied by a tapping noise coming from the regulator box. Never had this problem before and it is unsettling me as I suspect it will cause greater problems in the long term. A...

Hello. Brake pedal would sink to the floor when I pressed the brakes slowly - Ok when I hit the pedal harder. i changed the seals on the master cylinder. I have no leaks and the slave cylinders are not stuck but the problem remains the same. Help.

Thank you - oil pressure at 50 mph is 60 and has been since I installed the pressure gauge after your previous advice to do so - thanks for that. I guess I have taken a risk continuing to drive. Oil 20/50. I've got a screw on filter. so I'll be sorting the switch. Many thanks for your replies.

Hello: oil light was coming on at low revs. I replaced oil filter and oil and now it is coming on all the time. Oil pressure good and engine sounds sweet. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Cheers G

Many thanks for your responses. Both sides are going to get a few hundred quid thrown at them. Its 50 next year so i guess i should spoil it a bit. Made in Dublin so i shall be having a party with guiness and jamesons invited. Easy G

Thanks. trouble is I enter my reg in there and it doesn't come up with anything - and they still send me a tax disc every year when I apply for one.

waiting for the AA as my bottom trunion has just popped off the swivel pin - luckily in a car park and not on a road doing 60. On the Bullmotiff site they sell one specifically for a van - a tad more expensive. Does the van warrant a different one to the saloons etc? Other parts sites don't seem to ...

Hi My father in law is hankering over an old minor he owned in the 60's and is wondering if it still around. How would I find out for him?

The number on the side - starting with VA (I think) corresponded with the identification on a website talking about midget gearboxes. I just got a gearbox fron ebay to play around with and the id begins with MA - am I anywhere near right?

Nearly a year on since I fixed it and not lost a drop of oil since. But now its jumping out of 4th when decelerating. Time to investigate the gear box. I have just got one off ebay to play with - a minor one as mine seems to be from a miget.

Thanks for your help. I don't understand the two wires either - must have connected something else at some point. I've updated the profile and truied to add picture of van without success. How would you go about converting a minor to steam - you must have been tempted - a worlds first perhaps.

Hello Bmcecosse. Don't be cheeky about the rain. We are supplied by Cambride water who have not issued a hose pipe ban so I shall water the veg at will. The oil light goes off when I pull off the wire. The other 2 wires (green with the yellow stripe) are connected to the one one the oil pressure swi...

Thanks Bmcecosse. Now I'm confused. I've always assumed it was the oil pressure warning light. Its green, on the bottom left of the speedo on a '64 van. Bottom right is the red ignition with the high beam at the top middle. The switch is on the back bottom left of the engine with a single Green Yell...

Hello. The oil pressure light comes on at about 50mph and then goes out again when I drop below 40. Plenty of oil. Engine sounds and powers OK. Any ideas. Easy G.

Done. What a triumph (No jokes).
Many thanks for all your help folks.
Easy G

cheers bmcecosse. 44 it is.

Morning.
How come every one is saying 44lbs/ft torques when the manual says 40lbs/ft.
