OK - some progress - Ive got the flywheel locked up with the pin. Can someone confirm the pin diameter for the flywheel? Ive got one that fits but I think its the one for the pump as well. Next, the pump I have is tapered with a key. Do I totally remove the locking nut before screwing the...

Hey Lynall - I was with Peter yesterday - Its leaking from one of the outlet unions and he did a quick re-con on it but sadly its not fixed. Yes, he certainly can talk! The catflap is still going strong!

I am sure that a general clean and overhaul (O-rings etc) is within my capabilities but its a matter of time and inclination at the moment.

Thanks - was it a new or recon pump service? Can I ask how much they charged you?

The injection pump just on my 2.5NA has started peeing everywhere. Its leaking quite a lot and the MOT is just around the corner. Are there any recommended people who do a recon service by return and who don't charge the earth? Cheers

I'll investigate giving more movement by adjusting the flat bar - I have a mill, so elongating the slots wont be an issue. I think in the long run the internal wear will have to be addressed - be an interesting project I think. I was kind of hoping someone would pop up and say 'Oh yeah, thats...

The rod is actually flat bar with some slots in it - I could indeed elongate the slots to add some more adjustment. I might look at this again, cheers

Ive recently had to adjust the length of the interior mechanism that opens the lock, and now I'm at the full extent of that adjustment. Its just started playing up again (not quite triggering the latch to open). I think that its probably just worn inside, although it could be something else...

Hi. I am in need of a replacement MUC6979 door latch mechanism, RH for my 1987 110. I know these are hard to come by, but perhaps someone has one somewhere? Alternatively, has anyone taken them apart to fix them? Cheers, Jim

Thanks for everyone help - fixed the PAS issue. The pre-made suction pipe to the pump had a crimp missing on the flexible pipe. Addition of a jubilee stopped the air getting sucked in and all it now good. Also, being under the engine allowed me to spot the water running out of one of the...

There are some bubbles coming back into the system. Perhaps that’s the issue.

Hi Brown It only squeaks when I put pressure in the Geering wheel. It deffo seems to be from the box but I’ll get a third ear to do or check. I’d be happy if it was the pump as they’re a lot cheaper than the boxes!

Hi Lynall. I cracked the Bleed nipple on the top of the box and got some good pressure when turning the wheel so I know the pumps pumping. It’s a 12J. The pipes across the front to the pump are both new. When you say the suction pipe do you mean the one coming out the bottom of the reservoir...

Hi Mik Yes the fluid is full, although the level does seem to drop very slowly indicating a leak I guess. There’s deffo some PAS action with the engine running, but not as much as there was. There’s a squeal from the box when I turn the wheel. It’s a 6 bolt box if that’s useful info. Cheers, Jim

Hi all. The power steering on the 110 has gone very stiff, but not being familiar with these, I’m not sure where to look to decide what’s at fault. It worked ok after the rebuild but I hadn’t touched any of it except replace the front hoses. Now it’s very stiff to turn the wheel and gets...
