  1. After a period of time the front of the can seems to tear away from the new weld so it looks like the front of the can is suffering from metal fatigue. Where are the brackets? Jonathan
  2. Or does anyone know where I could get mine refurbished... I'd start by talking to Thundersport. NB Club discount. Jonathan
  3. Good idea + some percussion afterwards. Jonathan
  4. You can get parts to repair genuine Dremels. Jonathan
  5. Thanks. http://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/265x265/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/u/n/universal-aero-fuel-cap.jpg A quick search didn't show anything in the archives. Can you remove the whole unit with it locked? Jonathan
  6. I was wondering where it was going, Usual offer of a staging post in South Oxfordshire near the A34 and M40 J8. Jonathan
  7. Previous discussion of a seal kit and the source of the cylinder. Can anyone find a part number on or for the cylinder, please? Thanks Jonathan
  8. I hope it is not the water pump, that is also new last year! Is there any way of testing this without removal? Sorry, I don't know. Don't get too alarmed by this, but: Why was it replaced?Does the new one have have a plastic or a metal impeller?Jonathan
  9. Does the thermostat rely on pressure to open? Not normally. That's why you can test them with two pans of water. Jonathan
  10. Following Andrew's thoughts in #5 above I wonder if a failing water pump could do this, not enough oomph at idle... But I'd start with the simple stuff. Jonathan
  11. Andrew: Please check Private Message. Thanks Jonathan
  12. ... and I have some air in the system that I cannot bleed out... Which methods have you tried so far... jacking, massaging, extra bleeding T piece? Jonathan
  13. Didn't happen with the old radiator? Reasonably sure that there's no air in there? What coolant? I think that I'd swap the thermostat and see what happens. And have a good play with the existing one with a couple of pans containing hot and cold water. Jonathan
  14. The Forum User Guide. Great initiative and now needs collating and turning into a Guide. Discussion of searching, including my workaround. Lots of recent discussion of Replying to a particular post. IMHO this needs to coordinated with implementing quoting. Collating the Assembly Guides (including the wiring diagrams) and Owner's Manuals. This is down to me. Shaun's offered to serve them as soon as I can get them sorted. (Until then please ask for them by Private Mail to me including your email address and details of the Seven.) Technical Wikis. IMHO this needs a new team of volunteers. The technical side is ready as Guides can now become Wikis. Jonathan
  15. NB date. Would anyone else like to share their list of priorities for work on the site? We shouldn't expect any changes in the near future. The Club has a lot of other things to sort out. No rants, moans, hindsight or expressions of dissatisfaction in this thread, please. Just constructive lists and suggestions. Thanks to Shaun for all his work. Jonathan
  16. There's a good discussion in the archives. I find cordless much more convenient, but I'm not doing prolonged jobs. The Lidl and Aldi models seem to work well. Jonathan
  17. Could that be a problem with the selector mechanism? That would be easier to inspect and cheaper to fix. Jonathan
  18. If you're going to change the starter how about before and after audio clips of cranking? Jonathan
  19. Good advice. How about asking Caterham or VDO or Redline exactly what those are? Then talking to one of the specialists. Jonathan
  20. Moss Europe eBay shop: Triumph Spitfire & TR4-4A TR5-6 Steering lock & Ignition switch & Keys 1961-1976 Jonathan
  21. Yes, I think that it's one like this. Jonathan
  22. Welcome. What type and age of Seven? Jonathan
  23. The felt seal? Previous discussion. Jonathan
  24. Have you already got the wiring diagrams? Let me know if you need copies. Revilla's analysis of the EU2 engine loom. Jonathan
