Result!

I think so. Not much, but yes. But I thought the relay was somewhere on the inner wheel arch. Near the starter? Item 20.

Any photos of the interior as it is at the moment?

Either works for CV joints. Got to be EP90 for UJs.

Funnily enough I'm using an aluminium enriched 2k epoxy mastic to fill the pits on the front axle of the 101. Unlike the ordinary series vehicles, the swivel balls can't be replaced, as they are welded onto the axle tube. The plan is to sand...

Which carb is it? Got any photos?

Do you have access to the 90/110 parts book? That will help with finding what is compatible between the petrol and diesel oily bits.

Excellent. What's the plan?

The bendy bit 😀

Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.

What do you mean by a gaiter seal? One of the fittings that go over the swivel ball seal that cover the entire swivel ball?

Arent you in for a surprise then ;) . Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls:p. Suggest you trawl online and get a manual for your flavour and read it in bed at night/Breakfast in the morning and during your tea breaks:). J

Probably? Would you need an IVA? If you are changing the chassis I think you would. Technically possible, if you can fabricate things.

Err, UJs? CVs? Nothing? Got to be able to steer!

Assuming you've UJ joints on the half shafts then EP90 for sure. Nothing else gets into the rollers on the UJs.

Dodgy sender. If it's not over heating when in the red, it's the sender. Presuming that the sender is in full contact with the head, no PTFE. I've a good few sensors, none are the same resistance. I swapped until I had one that was nicely in the...

Go for it.

Check out 101parts, able engineering. I'm rebuilding mine at the moment.

Even remembered to copper grease the floor screws…..

In theory, yes. can you get 2.5 petrol pistons there?

Result. Thanks for updating.

Thanks for reporting back. Helps the next time someone has the same problem.

Well, fitted earth cable from block to battery at the weekend and so far all seems well. Many thanks for everyone's advice

Easily done.

I did look a few years ago. Couldn't find. The 110 parts aren't galvanised. But I think still available.

I'd fit something locally sourced. Something that parts will be available for a good while.

I scanned through this and my advice would be to definitely not buy one based entirely on the responses from the OP. He's already decided it will be a nightmare so I don't see why you'd go into it like that. Hang on to your Subaru!

I have started using Wynns lead substitute. The reason I selected it was 1, it has a measure so you can put in the correct amount, I never like the 1/2 bottle per tank idea. And 2, it has a fuel stabiliser for keeping the fuel fresher. Probably...

Sounds like the actual switch wiring needs reversing.

It's 50:50. New galv chassis is faster.
