I have the worse possible outcome of this problem, it now works perfectly so that frustrating fault has disapeared as quickly as it arrived.
Thanks one and all for your theories though.

Fuel pump
What causes the pump to work so erratically? It works fine then nothing, gentle tap and hey presto for a mile or so then same problem, then possibly good for the next week. Have cleaned filter and points etc what else can I do or is it the carb. It is off a 1300 metro.

I have supplied my local tame auto machiner with back plate and fly wheel to try and mate up to a 1275 lump out of a maestro. I should be able to let every one know by tomorrow evening.

The only problem is applying Hammerite over primer, it should be applied to bare metal. I use Rust-oleum, it comes in many colours is quick drying and does not react with other paint (unlike Hammerite) The combi colour product is a rust proofer and high gloss finish in one, it is manufactured in the...

Unfortunatley no, the striking plate on the door was worn through, and every bump forced the door to open onto the second latch. Anyway did not proceed as well as first thought this morning, the holding plate behind the door post would not give up the screws and it had to be ground off. the screws t...
