Got a low miliage rear diff knocking about in my garage if you are interested?:cool: The bang sounds like your mounts are shot though - fear not - cheap and easy. Get under the rear diff and try to push the front of it (where the main prop shaft goes into it) upwards. If the mount is shot you...

Oh its all getting a bit technical now lads....I just need someone to say.."Solder this here and that there".:D

L Series - Stone age engine, Billions of mile potential, cobwebs on the engine, 46 MPG after a few tweaks and no clonks or bangs after a few tonnes of soundproofing are added. :D Does it have a head gasket?

Simple thing I know - but worth checking the "U" washers are in place on the main prop. If these fall out it makes lots of play and you get "clunk" or more like "crack-ting" when going from reverse to 1st ot vice versa as the joints move on the splines.:o

Hmm...well on heater setting 1 the thinnest coil does glow slightly when its hanging in the footwell occasionally melting a bit of carpet on contact as it swings. Wouldn't like to lick it - lets put it that way. Whats the verdict on the above listed resistors then? Worth a go or do you recon...

Got a spare low miliage diff knocking around in my garage if you are interested?:)

Well when i soldered the original springy wires back together they actually glowed anyway! Quite scary - is this normal?:confused:

Ahh..and there was silly me thinking boggo standard resistors would do. Resistor wire it is then. Excuse my electronic ignorance!!!;) Thanks for the link also.

Right - soldered in the new resistors and "fiizzzzzzz", funny burning smell and blown resistors. Am I missing something fundimental? Yes - I connected them in the same place as the resistor wire. Bit stuck. Setting 3 still works but that does have a big chonking resistor wire that could probably...

I recon they have got the details wrong to be honest - its listed under L series but refers to the K series?!? Also - can you imagine pulling those revvs and NOT getting vibration? I chuckled on my work today as i was driving without the stereo on with my ear tilted and an atrentive frown on...

What have I started?? :D Well off I go to maplins...I am gonna go for 2.5,1.5 and 0.5 as I hardly ever use anything above setting 2 due to the noise. This should hopefully move settings 1 - 3 further down the range with minimal noise and leave max settings for emergency de-mist hurricaine speed.;)

Never had any MOT probs personally. 150+ K Used daily Used offroad Salt water wading 3x per anum. Touching wood and....

James - you bloomin star! Got the resistors out this morning, turns out they are in the heater box under the dash drivers side...just follow the wires. Undid the 2 screws and removed. Was gobsmacked that the resistors make the electrics on a spitfire look advanced. Curly wires???? Mein...

Oh dear. So still no Joy then? Sounds identical to Tiny with the vibration. Hmmm...thinking caps on then. Just to check this is the same problem - does it drive fine on light throttle but as soon as you put your foot down you get a "grrrrr..hummmmm" like you are in the wrong gear (but you are...

Was banking on a Maplins fix! So, under the dash it is... Passenger side or Driver side? Final decision? Ask the audience? :confused:

Seen it on Earlestown market too! :D

Hi Folks. Tiny needs your help again. Her heater blower switch has done next to naff all on number 1 setting for years now, now number 2 has stopped working also. I noticed on a Rover forum this is quite common and eventually all the settings will be dead as the resistors eventually fail. Now...

Tiny did suffer from something similar - yeah. Used to get louder the further your right foot went down in low revvs then just go as soon as the power really kicked in. I replaced the tie bar and all went quiet for a while. It returned a few weeks later so I went on a mission banging panels with...

There's deffo no air in Tiny but the link you provided does mention a thermatwat problem so off to the dealer i go. £14.99 sounds a fair price but you should see where the bloody thing is!!! Right down the front of the block attached to the oil cooler and about 50,000 hoses and pipes. This is a...

Oh dear. Hey - Can't remember if this was mentioned ages ago but have you replaced the leak off pipes on the injectors? Reason I ask is that Tiny's are a bit worn and have started drawing air in. Just off to the shop to get a length of replacement pipe.
