You will find an exploded diagram on the 'wanner' website. when filling the gun the spring behind the plunger will preload the gun the thumb screw just up from the hook ring should release any air trapped in the low pressure side of the gun. Nextpump the trigger a few times if the gun has been used ...

I have used Citric Acid available from chemist shops (500 gram box). It comes in powder form mix it up in a bucket of warm water. If you can get a heater hose off somwhere near the actual heater in the engine bay next to the bulk head all the better. I suspect that if the car has been run on good ol...

It would seem from the local newspaper that he died at the wheel and there was no evidence of an accident he may have infact died at the wheel, due to other medical reasons. It does not however take away any of the sadness that acompanies this article. RIP John

Charles Ware were selling this type of 'converter' dont know if they still do though.

Hi guys and galls has anyone fitted a duplex timing kit to a 1098. I am fed up with the rattle and am not satified that any of the usual suppliers chains are up to scratch. Ihave had to fit several single chain kits to so call rebuilt engines after only 20K miles. Any help on this would be most appr...

Crow bar? Back in the seventys we used to cut them out with a grinder chassis section and all and gas weld the whole chunk back in hardly needed a spanner. I will meet up with you guys soon promise!

I piggybacked the two wires together I know that the oil filter light is telling porky pies but you do get two orange lights on the speedo on start up and if the oil pressure runs low pressure for any reason two lights come on. A bright idea me thinks! :D :oops: Sorry forgot to mention that I have ...

Just try doing the sums after 14.76 hours driving and at 3 am many thanks Roger you should have been in the back seat! We could have asked you and gone back to sleep?

Having done the JOGLE in 2005. We by the way had a ball. Leaving JOG at eleven does seem a little late until you take into the picture being up most of the night before? Because when you lay in a tent on the beach on Dunnet Bay you keep thinking That at some point it will get dark, it don't. The onl...

Bowled past the White Swan last night by chance. Seemed to be shut or perhaps Lyndhurst hasnt'nt caught up with summer time yet. I will catch up with you at some point but time is a bit tight at present.

Sorry I missed you all last night, bit of a domestic calamity. I will get to meet sometime soon.

Check that the carb dashpot is not sticking by using the little button next to the float bowl. having had my moggy 'professionaly' serviced once only to find they had used some posh engine oil which it spat out proto throu ever oriface it could. After much nashing of the teeth I found that the dampe...

My Moggy Motor had the same problems. :( I refaced the pads the same way. You will notice the ball end of the adjuster has a hole in it this to lubricate the push rod. If you cut a spare rocker in half you will find there are two galleries inside the pressed arm one going to the adjuster one going t...

Hi there if you have had the head off it is most likly to be the fuel system. Up ending the carb with the enevitable muck in the bottom and loosing the oil from the dash pot is a good starting point for checks. Also how old is the fuel pipe mine had to be changed when the lining cracked up also whil...

Hi has your engine got a 'bolt on' filter if it has swap the wire from the filter to the engine pressure switch and see if it goes out. My own moggy has both wires connected to the engine pressure switch as it has a 'spin off' filter so that both orange lights come on if pressure drops, also fitted ...

Thanks one and all the fault was a duff earth up behind the mirror stalk

CD/Tuner is an older Sony unit which appears to have no aerial trim screw as suggested. Where do I connect the suppressor and what value to the dynamo. Aerial is a Halfords windscreen mounted one I have earthed it to the same point as the interior light. The thoughts on using such a aerial was to sa...

Wizz the old cr** alternator around to Auto and General people in Exeter and get new diode pack fitted half the price of another alternator. Mechanically alternators don't normally pack up. Fit a new fan belt as they are cheap and cheerful when the old one wears through to the nylon bracing it will ...
