    Thanks for that info Paul but what about rubber gaskets on fuel pump and gauge sender? They're not Rover are they?I'm reluctant to remove them, especially the fuel pump as it's difficult to get at and I understand prone to leaking if disturbed.

    My K series car is 20 years old and has been mapped to run on regular unleaded. When E10 fuel arrived I wanted to change hoses so that I could continue to use regular unleaded. However, I have given up because I also think I would need to change gaskets on the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender along with injectors and possibly some other parts. Anyone else considered E10 proofing their car?

    The noise you are experiencing which goes away when clutch is depressed is quite normal.
  4. Paul Richards
    Perhaps I could have given a better description. Yes you need a little pre load but you don't want pedal jamming and keeping cable a taught so that clutch is not fully engaged.

    You can get some strange smells if something has landed on the exhaust.

    Is it a cable clutch? If so make sure there is some slack in the cable.
  7. Paul Richards
    To check clutch set off in third gear. If it stalls no problem.

    Inner tubes.

    I have had a Radtec for well over 10 years. It sprung a leak about 5 years ago. I didn't think it would repair but Radtec did so for £40. Check whether yours will repair. Also make sure it's not under stress/strain when bolted to the car as it should last longer than 3 years. You are also correct in thinking that Radtec recommend blue antifreeze.

    Powder coat is original and will be tougher than paint.

    If it's just to get it off the stands you can use a couple of pieces of metal bar or similar with holes in.

    Some great pics but who's the fat bald guy with the mike?

    Not sure what it is, but looks like silicon and that's what I'd try. Let's see if someone with better knowledgd can help.

    Excellent run Simon. Exciting to watch. I had one eye on the timing screen all the time.

    Does it need to be open? I have a 3.92 sierra diff with AP Suretrack LSD. £300 plus carriage if you're interested.

    You need to replace the whole thing. Different gauge of metal is used on FIA bar.

    I'm bringing the LADS Coleman Shelter and my caravan will be there with a gas point available for someone wants to bring a gas bbq. Let's hope for good weather.

    If I understand you correctly the nose of the riveter interferes with the popper. A common problem. Easiest way is to place a v small nut (one that will go into the popper) over the "shaft" of the pop rivet.

    Normally lots of BBQing and banter at the circuit on Saturday evening but sadly looks like no ESV nowadays. I plan to be there along with my caravan.

    Brake bias valve achieves balance front to rear by limiting pressure in rear system. Balance bar simply alters the pressure that the pedal puts on separate front and rear master cylinders. You cannot increase pressure into the front system unless you change the diameter of the front master cylinder. Im sure you can achieve balance by selecting different brake pads.

    Julian YHM. Unfortunately you may have 4 of the same message. Don't know why. Apologies.

    I have a second hand Apollo tank. May be of interest to you. Currently on holiday. Will send message in a week.

    My previous comments probably date back to when test stations weren't quite so joined up and some of the requirements were down to the individual tester. Surprised that cable ties are more acceptable than something with nuts and bolts.
  25. Paul Richards
    The eye of the cable is permanent and will pass through the hole on the caliper. The normal difficulty is removing the eye from the hook hence all the replies. The outer cable is simply an interference fit in the caliper. It seems yours is corroded and hence difficult to remove. I suggest using a drift and hammer and perhaps a bit of a soak first with penetrating oil. A good clean and a little coppaslip on rebuild.
