Thank you all so much for your help. Does anyone happen to know the Offset of standard 109 rims so I can compare with Wolf rims. Thanks again..

This is covered over and over, I know... but I still cant get to the bottom of it... any help or thoughts would be gratefully received. I have 1980s series 3 SWB and the wheels are now rusty and I would like to replace. I would like a slightly wider stance but do not want to go all the way to 1...

Hi Stormintrooper, did you get to the bottom of this? Thanks

Thanks all

Hi All, I am going to use one a one piece gasket between the head and the exhaust/intake manifold Exhaust manifold gasket - 4cyl Petrol - Paddock Spares would you use a sealant as well? Thanks (I know that the green bible says only use gasket on the intake, thanks!)

Thanks all, I will try to get it up to temp more often. Was just surprised at the amount! I have soaked and cleaned out the breather as well

Ok thanks

Thanks James, I will fix the bonnet. Is there anything else that can be done to make the rocker cover watertight?

Having seen the price I wont order another, I am going to fabricate or find a filter to attach!

Many thanks James, I will order another..

Could anyone confirm if this Pick up Pipe looks correct? It seems odd that it doesn't have a gauze/filter across the bottom to prevent crud being sucked up. I cant find a decent image of one anywhere on the internet...

Thank you all for your knowledgeable replies

Thanks, it is branded First Four and seems ok but I will follow up if breaks!

Just in case anyone is coming along behind and finds this useful. Blackburn was of course right 579085 is the correct ignition switch and it does have the same numbers as the old one although the old ones were very hard to read. I think I am all sorted now. What a ridiculous number of wires...

Fantastic thank you I will order now

Blackburn thank you as always for your knowledgeable reply. Just to be clear 579085 is the smaller one, ie the one that I want to get?! Also given there are more spades is it clear which wire goes where? thanks
