I think the only answer is to look and measure, who knows what a previous owner has done

Loose engine mountings moving throttle cable ?

Maybe valve stem oil seals draining into cylinders standing or being sucked in with throttle off

I hope everything bloody works coz it's on now, 🫣 used big breaker bar with a bit of scaffolding tube fir more leverage and tightened it as hard as I could . Then again I'm not as strong as I used to be these days. So might get my son to give it...

Divide 250ft/pounds by your weight in pounds which will give to the length of bar in feet to stand on , if bar a bit longer just use tape to measure length where to stand Maybe do the final torque over the 210 when you know everything works and...

Hello, Jake here - Ashley, you're right, I didn't respond very quickly but I thought I'd share the conversation at it seems a little miss represented here. (of course confidential details hidden)

I haven't used the Small Claims Track for a while now, but it costs £100 to start the proceedings. OK, if you win you get it back.... I think the company sounded a bit inexperienced but nevertheless polite and offering a free one really was...

Meh...sorry but you sound like a nightmare customer. Fair enough initial lack of communication is poor but tell me if I've got this right. On the 21st you were told delivery due on the 24th or you'd receive a refund. The day after the 24th you...

Could you have a faulty earth then? As on the bench both cables would be directly on the starter.

Evening all, Just a quick post to say I'm just back from a road test in the 109 since installing my 200 tdi conversion, and wow, what a difference it makes. I know that seems a bit obvious, but it's just so much more usable in every way. I...

Mine is a disco timing chest, defender manifolds, Skoda fabia RS intercooler, mocol oil cooler, battery over the relay, shuffled forward. Turner head and diesel Bob high power IP. I really like it. Got some upgrades coming, though.

Did you remove the bypass thermostat thingy in the oil filter block when you blanked off the cooler?

100% valid point however i also travel to continental europe or africa and there cruise control is very convenient. This a photo from my latest adventure in the sahara :D

😃 reading after I posted , I was too then re read the oil bath filter which is also in original black on mine

Confused. Oil filter casing was blue. Air filter, oil bath type, was black.

Has your flywheel housing had the 4 extra drillings and Allen bolts put in as in Glencoynes conversion, think some do it , and some don’t

Ordered new clutch kit 9.5 inch , Just trying things out with old plate on so hoping things are will be in working order when I fit new.

Thank you. I’m going to put on a spare starter when I find it in the shed - it’s still an original Lucas so will give that a service and see how it gets on.

On the last pic you can see the original colour blue I took all the paint off down to steel , then primed and coloured , mine is an 84 series 3 and had the blue as original on my pastel green landy

Wow, I really like the blue. I thought maybe it was to match the engine color or the body color. I'm really going to think about the finish produce...be traditional or more creative. Thanks to all

I refurbed mine recently, just happened to have a tin of blue enamel boat paint in garage, used cup wheel on outside, few costs of primer and this paint went on beautiful, colour match close enough for me

Thats just answered my question perfect Mate Thanks

I would save your money and refuse the original , looks hardly used!

The garage did bleed the brakes and get some air out, annoyingly managed to do it the old fashioned way so don't know why I couldn't do it. Never seem to have much luck with brakes, it was the same on my classic mini
