Thanks Tottot that’s what I’m thinking. Defo looks l like it’s running lean. Going to turn the mixture up slightly to helpfully get the plugs a nice brown for now👍🏻

Well looks like it has worked pretty hard for over 40 years. But they are about the most basic motor vehicle that are still around in numbers today and can be repaired without the need to ask a computer what the problem is. A sticky brake may be...

Many moons ago I made the mistake of fitting HD springs on my Ninety. After a fortnight decided I would like my back to last a good while longer and went back to standard. Someone I knew fitted his landy with early Range Rover springs and it...

Thanks for reply very helpful, think I’m going to do away with the lift and go back to original springs and shocks

My other bug bear other than the no return on thread is the ones with a problem which several of us here give good similar advice on how to sort but the still go off down their own road on what they think the issue is and coming back again with...

Does get one a bit peeved when there are no returns.

Very nice. Those little tractors and often their Land Girl drivers did much to keep Britain from starving in WW2. Neighboring farm still used one in the 60's. I drove it some as a youngster and had to stand both feet on the combined clutch/brake...

You may think that your engine is running rich but white deposits are the result of running lean. If it were running rich they would have black deposits on the plugs. A nice light brown is what there should be on the electrodes. A Gunson...

Watch the dates, old post that OP did not return on.

Probably a very old tractor as well.

As above first thing is to ensure structurally and mechanically sound. If that has been done you can focus on cosmetics. What you have looks from the single photo to aboriginal and unmolested. As they are currenrtly what command the highest...

That is good to know, mine is very much the same [1990 Ninety] good chassis and bulkhead, tidy inside but bit tat body, paint non existent in some places but it is still a working farm vehicle. Out in the country side looks fine but not so in a...

Found where they go and I’m a dick. They came off the wing where the indicators go. 😏

TV's Mythbusters proved it is possible to polish a turd, but a turd is still a turd even if there is a shine on the outside. Checking and sorting any issues with chassis, bulkhead and running gear is what should come first.

Oh..........aren't we allowed to help them and ask questions? When did that rule get put in place?

Have you considered lowering leafs and chassis mounted neons?

It could be something getting hot in the speedo. Perhaps a drop (no more!) of oil where the speedo shaft runs in the bush in the back of the speedo might help. Logic: The speedo relies on the generation of eddy currents. These currents...

Fresh diesel.

Never heard of plastic tank for the side mount.

I got new bolts 👍 120-150Nm seems high 😬

Just tighten up with a usual length ratchet handle and socket. If your bolts are original worth getting a new set. Some come with pre applied thread lock. [no spring washer used] Not only does it keep em in but is better than using copper slip...

Standard drop plate for series at John Craddock £23, couple of fat washers will do instead of silly priced plate in @Wildefalcon post. Bolts will be imperial size.

Yeh gave them a good clean.

Remember which way the fuel pipes go. The link pipe between the carbs has a restriction for the return These carbs are simple as above needles or float stuck. Gentle tap with a bit of wood on the base sometimes frees them up

And I did not bother painting them.

It may be worth a double check that the crank flange and flywheel mating surface were totally clean.

Could result in clutch judder but this is just a guess. How and with what did you measure it?

Got some of the zinc plated ones when I fitted new door five years ago, still good and I live by the sea.

It wasn't me, way over my head. I worked on aircraft for 24 years but the car system is beyond me. It took a guy who knows the ford engine to work it out. Took him 30 mins.

Turns out to be a fault in the immobiliser system. Rear passanger door wiring damaged sending an error signal to the ECU.
