I have spacer plates on mine.

Anything that was working up to the point of the break down is probably still ok, except for one thing. So don't go trying to change stuff until you know it is fubar. Putting petrol down the throat of the carb may have been too much for it...

There's enough guides and YouTube videos I should be fine, and t I be honest this forum has helped me more than anything. Better than my local landy specialist who refused to work on my car , due to " no experience with p38s"

let me eat my dinner now its ready and i will see if i can manage to scan in and post the info he gave me that i printed out.

I've got one left that I got off kermie then I'm out. I changed a pot a while back but I can't remember if it was this blend motor or the distribution one above it. I'll have to search my posts to see which it was I was whinging about. Wanna flog...

The little legs to the potentiomèter (French keyboard predictive text) get loose from their soldered joints and cause bad feedback relating to their position and can be soldered. It may well be just the case. 👍

I was thinking maybe a stiff flap was causing a motor stall and not a blend motor issue at all. But the motor wouldn't run when off the box so that's that. Found a 9v battery for testing tomorrow, unless it's peeing down which is expected...

Sorry dude, I have trouble keeping up with my own kids names 😱

One step at a time my mate. Also when you do the diaphragm there also the none return valves. They sit in the block a certain way, these are something else that can leak but definitely check the diaphragm first as they crack and leak air from...

It was @biketeacherdave That had the write up with pics.

Planning for a 50 acer reservoir is a bit different to permitted development and putting a plastic green house on the back ov yer castle. A new reservoir pushes wildlife out the way and destroys the abby tat permanently. Tis not naturally there.

It was @brianp38dse I think. The injector head at the back of the pump can be done on engine and only undo the injector head piece until you can just see the oring. Any further and you run the risk of parts inside dropping out of position...

Ah , that makes sense , hopefully I can get this running. I don't want to have to switch to coils.

The big leaks are economical to fix. They won't get smaller unless they run out of water.

I don't know if I'll be able to explain it to you in my present state of wine induced affluence of incohol!! Imagine you have a thing, like a pulley wheel, or an adaptor for a splined wire wheel, which is going to be turning anti-clockwise as...

Basics. Excellent.

I thort "doon the toon" was going to be quiet but I fell in with a crowd of very interesting folk, to the point that I had to shoot off to get up here to make a WhatsApp call to a mate, who, it turned out, had completely forgottid about it! Still...

Were the ring gaps equally split around the circumference. Is there some black marks in the cylinder pic running down Have you honed the bores after new rings

Sorry mines a L322

Sorry Stan this makes no sense to me at all. With a CW or RH thread, if the thing it holds in p!ace is turning in the 'tighter' direction how can the opposite work? Hence LH threads on NS axles.. Or not, as your numpty mate found out.. Edit...

My need may be more urgent than you getting around to this and running them for a bit but keep us posted incase you do it before I swap out my disks

Wondering the same.I need to go back and start over with the timing.

Google Dixon bate series hitch.

You can get a a spacer plate.

They are poor quality, low cost items.In the UK, often they are called ****part The Orange shocks that Britpart do are better quality. https://www.britpart.com/parts/suspension-and-axle/shock-absorbers/britpart-cellular-dynamic As are the oil...

OK, I'm bored! @kevstar jump on and amuse me, plese! 🤣

Hi All How do it fix and what kit do I need to fix a tow bar at the correct height for my series 3 please? I think the chassis to tub fixing which is proud of the rear x member will obstruct the normal bracket. TIA Lee

Ughhhh…. I’m losing the will here. A few days of glorious weather and all dried out, one morning of rain and footwell drenched again. The water seems to be getting in quite high up, just below windscreen level and I don’t have the time for...

If there is one positive to be had from this thread, It's got me proper interested in the L322. I like all LRs but never really paid much attention to the RRs.
