Thanks for the advice everyone, just in case you were interested its gone through the test at another garage and they have rated it at 65% on their rollers. Had an argument with the mechanic and he has an answer for everything. Guess ive got a new place to go next year...

Yes, I found this as well. However he argued that seeing as its a 1996 engine in a '73 vehicle he would have to rev it to its governor (which having now heard it i reckon is set too high) and the check for black smoke. Im going to take it back to the same place for the re-test, he cant fail it...

They're BFG All-terrains so they grip pretty well, and the vehicle is only a ton and a half.

The brakes on my series 3 failed the MOT because they had an efficiency rating of only 35% apparently (it needs to be at least 50). Seems fair enough, but the brakes are the last thing I expected to be bad. They're pretty much entirely new in the last two years, and I've been out doing some...

Yeah, I thought these replacement Zeniths sounded too good to be true. Having tried a webber im not particularly in love with them, but i may look into an SU kit. Thanks for everyones advice :-)

I've got a solex carb on my 2.25 which is apparantly knackered. I'm told there is a bearing inside it which is part of the body casting, and this is worn and letting air past ruining the fuel air mixture. It runs fine, but I'm getting some pretty awful mileage, so I though a replacement could...
