Well I watched the youtube video , my wife said ,hope your not buying that . I think it has been a huge waisted effort and I wouldn't have it as a gift . Just my opinion ,somebody might love it .

Very weird

Only if you live alone

Just had a similar problem but with electric version. Turned out the one way valve fitted on the pick up pipe in the bottle (fitted when I bought the car) is not made for suction side. The valve need to be on the pressure side of the pump.The valve will not open on suction, it needs the water pressu...

4 brakes vs 3 brakes should be some improvement

Look at fun period gadgetry post in general discussion and you will see the old Tapley brake tester. Old enough to remember using one in my mechanic days

Surely you can pick up a cheap anchor and rope in that area or bungee cord to assist the uphill return
Hope you can get your issue sorted, you can get a brake roller check without a full mot from most mot garages, money well spent on a safety issue
Good luck

Have you had the brakes roller tested to make sure both axles are doing their share? If most of the effort is on one axle it will overheat and fade. Do you know anyone who has a non contact infrared temperature gauge, you can take the brake temperatures after a decent , they have a lazer spot you ca...

Thanks Kevin, ordered Milliput in black, not bothered about lettering

The knob was never available at a seperate part and is firmly fixed in production - unlike the wiper and light switches. If you want complete originality you'll have to do some digging and ring/email round the specialists and buy good secondhand items. Easy enough to replace the whole cable :wink: ...

Found the complete starter pull with cable on ESM website , cheaper new than ebay used :D but can't find just the nob, need to look if grub screws hold them on like the other switches, thought someone will know :tu1: Or maybe just fill the holes in ends, just thought if easy to swap just for cosmeti...

The end of my choke cable and start pull have broken ends where the letters would be, are replacement ends available with S and C. and how are they to held on.

Is it just the angle of the picture or is only one side of the coil connected?

Well done to all those involved, thanks for your hard work
