Re: Insurance value

Many thanks for the feedback.

I have put it down as a £5k value.

Lets hope it never needs to be put to the test.

Cheers

Insurance value

Apologies if this is a subject that comes up repeatedly, but I am currently filling in a 'Vehicle Condition Form' for my insurance and they want to have an 'estimated value of vehicle' and I have no real idea what its worth.

Re: Runs Rough then dies after 10 min

Thanks for the feedback so far.

Regarding water: Just been out to check the water in the radiator - looks fine and uncontaminated, about an inch below the lip within the radiator lid (its cold). Also heating was working fine today (!)

Runs Rough then dies after 10 min

I have a 69 Traveller and the engine runs fine at start up and for about 10 mins. However, after the engine heats up it starts to run rough (especially at full throttle when its very down on power) but eventually dies even at idle. There is fuel in the tank, and I also checked the fuel pump and it s...

Ah.. this is starting to make sense. When sitting with the engine idling I hear the tick of the pump then the engine shudders (maybe because it was starved of petrol ?) and the pump gives a quick 4-5 ticks. Then teh cycle repeats. I've just cleaned the filter located under the pump (essentially OK),...

I have just had exactly the same experience. On the way out for a day trip and after 8 miles, it felt as if it was running out of fuel. Spluttered and died. Went to fetch fuel 5l reserve can (although gauge still showing half full) - poured in and restarted. All fine. Parked 200 yards further. On th...

Many thanks for all the feedback.

I have ordered reinforcing plates from ESM and will get my friendly local mechanic to weld them on the wheel arches.

Am I right in thinking that the fixing points on the floor pan get a similar reinforcement ?

I just bought a 1969 Traveller today ( VERY exciting !) and it has the same issue. At first I thought I was just being cack handed with an unfamiliar clutch - but this makes me wonder ! ssnjimb - could you give some feedback maybe ? Did you get to the bottom of this ? Was is the steady bar ? Thanks,...
