Aye, does actually. Did the old man’s gaylander with it when he got it new in 2012 been doin his same time as mine every year and it’s the same, fresh underneath. Nae worries.

Oil and diesel mix twice a year scooshed on wi the garden sprayer. Nae rust here.👍

Flush it an see if it still does it Check rad not blocked or air in coolant Borrow laser thermo and measure temp to rule out injun being too hot Take stat out and test it or just replace they’re cheap ( stick in a pan of water and boil it see if it opens even if it’s new especially from...

Even remembered to copper grease the floor screws…..

To be fair, it wasn’t as bad as I thought to do, worst part was getting the floor up, but anyway, even if I have to replace the O ring and grease the cups yearly it’s worth it to get rid of the gear-lever chatter, it was driving me and Mrs Fatrover mad, had to get Fatrover jnr to sit in the...

So my improvised plastic bush was too thick to fit in the cups, so I bought some O rings from Craddock, installed them and greased the cups with thick tractor grease, they were pretty dry, likely never been touched. I also made a new locating bolt for the side of the ball, bit of jb weld on the...

It’s very sticky and seems mega water resistant, I used it on my old mustang to stick on a news set of door seals. It’s pretty removable too, I had to take the seals off to put in a new windscreen and they cut off through the tiger seal quite easily with a sharp knife. Sanded down clean and went...

Had the same problem, had to cut them a bit to fit them stuck em in with Tigerseal. Never coming off. Did the front vent seals the same way, nae leaks and I live in the wettest part of the known universe.

I had a straight through on for a year only cos I was too tight to buy a pipe and I live in the middle of nowhere Anyway don’t do it, it’s a bastard racket, itll do your head in I had to wear chainsaw ear muffs to cope wi it after a month or two

Mine came from ‘ere https://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/ff_part?part=31935

Just replaced my plugs and the difference is immense previously needed 3 or 4 long heats now goes after two short uns

An Update: the ballast resistor was shagged and the wire to the ignition was fried. Replaced both along with a new set of glow plugs and wiring and alls well, fires straight up. Thanks for the tips guys 👍

when the key is turned to the heat position I was getting 12 v out the red wire hence my suspicion the resistors knackered, I’ll get it out tomorrow and test it. Hopefully that’s what it is 😬

Here’s the ballast resistor, the new plugs went in exactly as per the old series wiring. Power to the first plug is via the red cable will remove the whole thing tomorrow and get a look. I measured 12V coming out the red wire into the first plug yesterday, got the Mrs to turn the key and stuck...

Aye it’s either or at the minute, both have benefits right enough. Original plan was to just replace the series as they’ve lasted fine since 1976. Will need to get the resistor out an see if it’s bolloxed, might be the source of all this
