Re: paint colour, different shades?

Can i resurrect this post?

I have a smoke grey mog which has two distinct shades, the original being a little lighter and less 'murky' than the more recent coat.

Anyone any guesses what I need to look for to touch things up with?

Thanks
Jim

Checking Suspension

Hi

Having seen a video on Facebook, I'm now paranoid about "them trunions"
I'd there a "virgin" guide to checking the front suspension on a Minor?


Thanks

Re: Front damper issue?

Thanks a lot Declan. I've got my sae30 ready, once he's home I'll drop the bottom nut (and catch the needle and springs!!) on both sides and refill. Do they take much oil? I've got "new fangled" telescopic dampers on the rear, which are quite hard, hence feeling the bounce on the front. Jim

Re: Front damper issue?

Thanks Declan.

Is it normal for the oil to come out of the top when the centre screw (filler?) is removed?

Front damper issue?

Hi all, My front dampers are a little uneven, so i took the filler nut of the top (the one in the middle?) And it immediately oozed foul smelling oil. Should it be pushing the oil out? If so, how do I get more back in if it's throwing it back out? Or an I opening the worn nut? If i change the oil in...
