Good work that man, but a 10 minute crank!? That poor starter.

Does it need someone else to work on the car? If youve got it running ok, new bellows and proper clips. As long as you didnt over heat it, it will be as good as before!

How on earth did it do that!? Did you forget to put the clips on? hopefully it hasnt over heat the engine, as it sounds like you had actually got to the route of the problem in your previous post.

Yes theyre all but non existant. First thing to do is check your valve clearances are correct.

Glad to be of service, enjoy the sunshine!

You will probably find the fronts rub at full lock, and the rear will touch the wings over bumps, depending on how low you go.

I would assume a gasket either side, doesnt make any sense to fit oneside and not the other. But the information is missing from the IPC.

And as I say I prefer the "paper" one to the metal one. Other people may have different opinons

Fingers crossed for you!

Sorry for the delay, ive been out of the country. Ive had a quick look in the IPC. But that page is missing, typlically. But its safe to assume you would need a gasket on any sealing face. I prefer the "paper" gasket because it can be used more than once, and had more tollerance for slightly warped ...

They are pretty much the same, unlikely to have the elextric fan on a UK car. But ive used those diagrams in the past with no issue. The only thing that might trip you up is dodgy previous repairs. People do all sorts and used incrroect wires ect.

There was change from early to late at these chassis numbers. There was also a change of motor from early to late. So it may be the case that it wont fit.

Youll need to disconnect the battery, the lower the fuse box so that you can get your arm up to the gauge. It has two spring clips. from the front push the gauge into its pod, with the hand at the back squeeze the two spring clips in and then the gauge should withdraw through the front of the dash. ...

Keep us posted

I think itll be more a case of a tiny piece of dirt blocking a jet, rather than set up/balanced correctly.

Sounds almost certainly like youve got a fueling issue. As soon as you open the throttle more air rushes in, but in your case more fuel doesnt, the mixture goes weak and you get a mistfire. Have you checked which exhaust branches are getting warm? This should help tell you which cylinder(s) are miss...

Oh ignore that, they havent updated their website.

Or maybe not. https://stanfordhallvw.com/product/club-display/

Reading Dave Hall's description of the sender was the first thing I did and I have eliminated the traditional problems. I removed the cylindrical cover (very carefully) and the float slides perfectly well up and down and my multimeter gives the expected resistance readings at top, middle and bottom...

Been a long road for Jim. But its amazing now its on the road. A little work on mine. I finally got my hands on another crash bar plastic plug. https://am3pap007files.storage.live.com/y4mnmF9GHCpaGuWJT7H_FH-kFMGKyPChfMw0emoxObPBGdtxOHYqRbtqA9Sjy8M9B_5D-G3ota-fp3jbV44xrXFjacoPXMci2Y8vtnWOooNJgdoSW4ba...
