Re: Diff oil
It’s no longer featured in this tin, anyone know if this omission is the way now or maybe just the make of grease. Interesting to hear. I haven't opened any of the grease we recently got, but it makes me wonder if ours will be the same. The silly thing was that at the time of purchase you could get...

Re: Sidelight/indicator earth
Once had one of the technicians ask me to look at why every time he tried to connect the earthwire for the roof beacon to the cab frame it sparked. I switched it off then attached the wire, i gave up trying to explain its 24v positive until its fully grounded

You can get 90 degree seat belt bracket online and use spacers if you need more height.

If its a small amount to top up then mixing isn't an issue but for the sake of a litre and peace of mind as you say Change it and keep what comes out for oiling the rusty gate hinges

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting
So had they given you the wrong key?
Old cars don't always have the same key for ignition and doors, as locks get changed over the years. My ignition key also fits my boot lock but not the drivers door.
I put a notch in the ignition key head so easy to identify.
Glad you have hot it sorted

Re: Diff oil
Unfortunately Les if its not in its original marked container I don't think you can as its only the additives. Unless we have an oil industry expert who will put me right :) To quote from a manufacturer The main difference between GL-4 and GL-5 gear oils is in the level of extreme-pressure (EP) addi...

Re: Fuel gauge reading half-full when empty
You don't remove the screws, simply slacken as the speedo brackets are slotted. I have had mine out and back several time and I don't even retighten the screw , just have them loose enough to slide the speedo back in. We'll worth modifications to you liners.
Good luck with it

Re: Fuel gauge reading half-full when empty
Unless it's different on a 69 why do you have to remove glove box and steering wheel to take out speedo?
Don't you have the hole in the glove box liner so you can slack the screws and pull out the speedo.

Re: electric fuel pump?
I wonder if it another case of poor quality replica parts. Mine looks the same type although invoice say genuine SU fuel pipe fitted in 2021, I will keep an eye on it. Only use E5 so not as much % of the dreaded ethanol , have just fitted viton needle valve as a preventative measure. 20240323_125936...

Re: Brakes - symptom
Have you tried bleeding with the engine running, so the servo is pushing the fluid rather than it just passing through unassisted. You could try pumping the peddle and holding the pressure then cracking the banjo bolt you referred to, re-tighten before releasing pedal. Sometimes jacking the rear as ...

Re: Brakes - symptom
Are you on drum brakes or discs, are your drum brakes adjusted ? 1st pump could be taking up shoe to drum clearance, obviously discs are self adjusting. Fluid should pass through the servo and not effect bleeding unless servo is incorrectly mounted and you have an air bubble. As stated in other repl...
