That looks the business

Hi Mike, Ive got same sort of problem as you. Odd thing is, I can pump up pedal, as though there is air in system. I get a solid pedal, let off pedal and when I try it 30 secs later, the pedal goes to floor? Ive bled it lots, so not sure that's problem? Its a new master cylinder, and ive noticed tha...

Thanks Bill,
Will give it a try.

Hi All, Just converted to midget discs and new servo. tiny Seal removed from front of master cylinder. Im not sure about the master cylinder.

Thanks Kevin

Hi all, Thanks for advice and replies, Well, its an old car, that's been stood around for years. I changed the oil and filter and eventually got engine running. Thought I would adjust tappets , so rocker cover off and see that its pretty dry around rockers, pushrod holes. So I took the rocker shaft ...

In short a new oil pump will not make any difference to the oil pressure if the bearings are worn. The maximum oil pressure is controlled by the oil pressure relief valve. You could try a new oil pressure relief valve and spring. To replace the oil pump you will have to remove the engine from the c...

Hi, wondered if there is a simple way to check for wear in engine? I don't get much flow of oil up to the tappet shaft . I took off the oil filter housing , and cranked engine without plugs fitted. When I did this I didn't get much of a flow from the feed pipe to the housing. So Im wondering if the ...

Thanks everybody for your answers;)
