Have you got the old style single circuit system, with the one can of fluid for clutch and brakes? I had a nightmare this year on my 2a that resulted in replacing nearly everything, having bleed nipples shearing off is quite aggravating. The oldstyle master cylinders can be a bit of pig to...

Engine rebuild time, cam and timing chain and sprockets all renewed.. Any one know a good way of setting the cam timing properly?! :confused: I have thought of setting it to tdc then working out where the cam should be but it seems horribly pot luck! cheers

I have paddock canvas one, its fine but as hughesy said it indeed does not quite fit. You have to love britpart one size fits nothing..

Dont even bother trying to get the remains out, i had that happen on 3 of my drums. Most of the ****part stuff is almost as good as genuine, and at £6 vs £20.. or am i just a pikey :D

Cheers for that, il have a renewed inspection!

When idling my 2.25 petrol seems to have forgotten no.3 cylinder. I can unplug that HT lead with no effect to it. However at higher rpms (ie full choke) it starts working again and there is the expected drop in rpm when you unplug that HT lead. I have swaped the HT lead and plug to cure the...

I get 68 out of mine on the Flat and 75+ downhill - the noise and vibration can best be described as epic. 50 should be comfy ish, as was mentioned you can corner at that speed with balls! In a leany scary oversteery sort of way.. you havnt got diffent diffs or ratios? Im fairly sure the old...

I have the genuine (with cut V) wooden handbrake prop, luckily part no R285SF6208T wasnt standard on the 2a. Exclusive to S3 and britpart.. I have a 1966 2a and its dash looks identical to the one you have got just not nearly so shiney! Ebay rev counter mounted in a piece of 2cv dash not...

Thats the current plan, and copper grease everything when i put it back together.

I fitted a new master cylinder a couple of months back, the bleeding of which proved nigh on impossible (lacking a forklift to stand the thing on it tail!) so i handed it over to a local landrover garage to sort out. All credit to them they managed however it took a fair few hours of fiddling...

I think even the Ford explorer gets 15 or so out of the 4 litre V6, thats gotta be heavier than a s3 surely.. LPG?

haha ahh.. i am up for it depending where again, around shaftsbury way is fine. So long has someone can lend a tow if things get very boggy...

oh what win green? Most of the tracks up there are still open. If disco 71 needs a tow around there something is amiss! :p
