Re: Wiper motor sweep?
Original post only said the drivers side is over sweeping hence why I suggested checking both wheel boxes are the same as I’d say that they are probably different if one side is ok. Would have thought if it was the motor then both would be out but by the same

Re: Wiper motor sweep?
I replaced one of my wheel boxes from a reputable supplier and the sweep was completely wrong, “had no complaints so far” was their response After delving deeper into the issue I found that the original wheel boxes are stamped with this number and the supplier are simply wrong Once I got a replaceme...

Re: Impact Wrench
Remember you dont have to give it full beans when doing things up, just nip things up then get the torque wrench out. Just easier and quicker with a gun, air guns are a lot more powerful than battery and have been used for years in garages probably since theses cars were new and are used to make the...

Re: Impact Wrench
Ive got a clark impact gun (others avilable) and it’s a god send. Dont think the brand you said do a gun with enough tourqe When doing up wheel nuts I buzz them up which is a lot quicker than by hand and then use a torque wrench. Theres no real need to get one but once you get one you'll use it regu...

Are they actually any good, often thought about getting one over the years but just never found to it I have heard good things about it but you never know if it’s just hype Once you have used one you will never look back. The first time I used mine I did it twice because I thought it could not be t...

Re: Wiper sweep
I fitted one new wheel box from ESM a couple of years ago and it was the wrong sweep, I did call them but they said no one had ever mentioned it before I found this information and bought a second hand wheel box stamped with the number 72790A and the correct sweep was restored https://board.mmoc.org...

Re: added Servo now no brakes
When you say no brakes what exactly do you mean
Does the pedal just sink to the floor as if there’s still air in the system ?

Re: Slight 'growl' under acceleration
I have the same, I’ve fitted a new engine as the ends did start knocking and the growl is still there,so in my case I’m guessing it’s gearbox bearings, as I’d be very surprised if the same sound at the same revs would be found on two different engines. Backing off the throttle does make a difference...
