Dear Moon Rover, I would like to be considered for your free chrome wheel nut, please. Having lost one in usage. Many thanks. Best regards, Alanj.

chris_v888, From the symptoms you have described particularly the popping in the carburettor and the lack of power it would seem that the some of the lobes on the camshaft have worn away. As symes has alluded to, the rear lobes are particularly prone to this. You need to follow his good...

Chris_V888 symes is right the camshafts are worn out and are in need of replacement. Kind regards, Alanj.

Guten Abend ReinhardP, Open ended as Colin has stated 3/4" A/F . However, as he has also said they round off easily. You cannot get a socket on as I recall. My way is better if you do it with care. Get the nuts first and you will be able to check the size. Viel Spaß, Alanj.

Guten Tag ReinhardP, Presumably you mean the wiper wheel box nuts which can be very difficult to remove! Order two good used nuts, then take your Dremel and with care, grind off the old nuts having first protected the wheelbox threads. Drastic aber ausgezeichnet. Alanj.

Guten Tag Stefan, The best replacement foam you can use for the heater box cover plate is a closed cell EPDM/Neoprene mix closed cell cellular rubber density of 110/130 KG/M3 Black. Not the open cell yellow Polyurethane foam 30/40 KG/M3 which crumbles with age. In answer to your other...

Dear Chrisw, Thank you for your response. It is not the heater box complete that I am looking for, it is the left hand operating rod and fork that I need, please. I would be prepared to pay a reasonable amount for the part or make a donation to the forum. Whichever you think best. No need to...

Guten Morgen Stefan, The plastic cowl that you refer to is in fact a fibreglass chopped strand mat. It is very important that it is refitted because it acts as a heat insulating pad and helps as a sound deadening insulator. You could make one of those too! Viel Spaß, Alanj.

Dear Pilkie, Spot on! That is the one on the left of your photograph. Many thanks for your interest. Alanj.

Dear Pilkie, When you are looking for your heaters for member transexl , this weekend. Would you be good enough to see if you have a L.H. SHORTER CONTROL ROD which is the one that controls the air flap to the passenger compartment, as you know. Its operating lever, of which I have several...

Ethelred, Simply wondered if you found time to buy and fit two PCV valves and if you were pleased with the results ? Kind regards, Alanj.

Harvey was referring to brass nuts that are approximately 25 mm deep for extra security, with more than double the number of threads in contact with the studs. It is hard to tell from the photograph whether the ones you have fitted fit that criteria. Hope you are tightening the nuts to no...

Dear Quagmire, I can offer 5/16" UNF 1" DEEP, yes 1"deep, Brass manifold nuts x 6 that Harveyp6 was alluding to for £7.95 inc the postage. I hope this is helpful to you. Best regards, alanj.

Dear ethelred, You are very welcome , glad to be of help. I bought my two from Real Steel , Middlesex tele no. 01895 440505 Part no. BYFV184 @ £2.45P EACH which I thought was a cost effective fix for such an annoying , well known problem...

As a new member I would like to offer members a cure for the above, which is the bane of a V8 engine, as you all know. I cured mine by inserting two Wells PCV 76 one-way valves; one into the O.S.F BREATHER PIPE 603518 and another into the N.S.F. BREATHER PIPE 603517. I must have done a...
