Re: Heater hoses

Yes, but the top one seems a little high for when you shove the glovebox back in

Re: Diff Plug Tool

I have an original Draper No1 tool, but 3/8 drive end works well. Additional bonus drain plug tip - If you come up against the large slot type of drain plug somewhere, end of tyre lever and pair of stilsons are your friend!

Timing Marks at the top

Re: How many of you can weld, and how did you learn?

Re: JEE 24

Bill, lost touch many years ago so no chance of finding out. Last time I saw the vehicle was in Lookers' showroom on Chester Rd Manchester in the eighties. Just a nostalgic thought really!
