My little white toggle was somehow duff, so no adjustment was available until I replaced it. But it's almost certainly a sponge issue in your delay governor.

Thank you Harvey

Is this the correct part?

Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks guys. I'm assuming I'm calling it a spacer but that what I need to replace is the thrust collar on each output shaft. Correct me someone if I'm wrong! :)

I haven't touched the car since January last year, which gives me a sinking feeling. But that's how it's been, and I hope to spend a few days with it this spring, get it MOT-ed and such. The fragments in the old steering box that came out were from a failed input bearing cage. The chap that...

Since posting this, I ended up taking over the parts. The boot mount parts have sold, but I have the Icelert parts that I won't use. Any offer considered plus postage to your location (from Norway).

I have a retro-fitted original PAS setup in my LHD V8 and, having owned three manual-steering V8s previously, I can say it's a huge difference. I love a quick-rack steering setup (such as the Active Steering on my BMW), and the Rover sort-of has that. It also has just enough assist to feel...

Velkommen! My V8 spent15 years in Sweden before making its way across the border to Oslo, then to me in 2010. All the best with your restoration efforts! Tor

I've sent you a PM, Barten! :)

I might have a working used one if you can't find new.

Thanks for this. Alan writes back that he has checked and cleaned the lifters twice, checked rocker shafts and rockers for cleanliness and pushrods for condition of ends and lengths. The noise still seems to subside somewhat during use but it doesn’t go away. He will put Valve Ease in the fuel...

My South African V8 has developed what feels and sounds like a sticky valve, or something to that effect, having stood unused for fairly long periods of time. For this reason I am quite sure long-term engine wear is not the case, but the engine's history is undocumented and there's a Crane...
