:)Now that does look Good!!!

I've changed the oil and greased it's nipples, touched up the underseal ready for the French Control Technique next week. Hoping the emissions control themselves this time round. Then it is off back to the UK at the end of May for my son to use in Lincs. on Landscaping and maybe off roading...

Blimey I must be lucky. Left my 1982 County on the Drive since before Christmas, -4C this morning, barely turned the key and off she went, smug or what? Check all the earth connections as corrosion can discharge a battery rapidly, also clean of the terminals if cooroded and coat with copper...

Hi Thanks for the advice. Did you place the order via Visa or the like? EG Credit Card? If so then contact them with the details and they will normally make refund and then make their own claim on the Administors. Happy new year

Had the same problem using the cheaper Luminitions unit on an MGB and that packed up within 100mile. Unfortunately I was in France, house hunting and of course with no points and no garage able to supply them the car and I had to be recovered back to the UK where, as you say, I replaced the old...

Yes it's the same and it sounds as if that may well be your problem. How old are the leads these can fail once hot but usually just cause missing not flames out of the tail pipe. Use a strobe on the timing marks and then turn the dizzy as you say. I have the same set up and also have Mini's...

Yes the "Beast" is back on the Road and turning a few French heads. It was the only fault which is surprising for an old girl. With fuel prices falling she is getting plenty of use and nicely coated in Farmers road deposits No more over heating and now for a S3, quite rapid. I wrote about...

I replaced the Inlet and exhaust gasket plus the carb, spacer which was cracked and the gaskets. I also replaced the array of bolts supposidly holding the manifolds in place with new studs and brass nuts. I also replaced the High Compression Plugs with the correct Low compression plugs I...

Fair comment and thanks

Many thanks for that. I must admit I think it is the better route to follow. I will have to see what Paddock send over to me & I would probably have problems getting the correct jointing compound in France any way, making myself understood would be the first hurdle. Thanks again

You ar right of course and thanks for the sensible advice.

OK Mad Hat Man I'll play it your way. It's a 2286 petrol engine:mad:

Prick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! poke it where the sun don't shine

NEWBIE yes to this **** forum but not to Landies and not to serious knowledge on vehicles just a bit saddened by the brainless who seem to own them on this particular forum.

You tossers, all of you want to grow up a bit and stop acting like school kids. Ignore you , certainly no problem and as for advice, none to date but a load of bollocks from you lot.

And fook you to PRAT Perhaps if you spoke English it might effing help instead of this yokel gibberish.

Sounds like you may like to try and chain my attitude, anytime you feel ready. I've never posted on a site full of so many prats and will not bother again.

IS THIS A SERIOUS SITE OR NOT? WHISLT I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE I ALSO POST ON ANOTHER FORUM FOR LANDIES AND IS EQUALLY FULL OF JOKERS

Hi Thanks for that I think it is the best choice

For those who have read my previous threads you will know that I have been having problems with emissions. Yesterday I decided to remove the front exhaust system including the manifolds. This was simple as all the mixture of bolts were loose. Perhaps part of the problem . I have ordered the...
