this lot may help.

I do like happy endings.
I attended a course with work once, the instructor suggested we should all make a fool of ourselves at least once a day, I remember thinking if only I could limit it to once a day

After a run perhaps check the temperature at the hub caps, hot might indicate a rogue brake shoe or seized hydraulic brake cylinder?
Perhaps a loose spring on a brake shoe?
Jack the car as suggested on a previous post and check by hand the wheels are spinning freely.

Well, it was an education. Removal of the half shaft indeed would make no difference at all, however, things improved dramatically when I slacked off and removed the 4 bolts holding the back plate in place, this gave me lots of space to both remove and refit the brake cylinder. Job done and everythi...

I purchased a new fuel pump of the electro/mechanical standard variety direct from S.U. 5 years back, it had a breakdown (that involved hot electric internals) every 9 miles, once it was allowed to cool it was fine, for another 9 miles, I had it replaced and everything has been fine since.

Many thanks people, I shall weather permitting sort it at the weekend.

Afternoon All, I am to replace the n/s rear brake hydraulic cylinder, it looks an awfully snug fit, do I have to remove part of the hub (held in by a philips screw) as it seems to foul the old unit ?
Thanks in advance.

"Vintage, genuine and of its period"

ive just informed my missus of this one and explained the history and the reason for the unusual colour.
Her reply?
"£40,000 ? cos its pink?"
Shes right though.

Just the same as mine, also a 65 vintage.
Also, once I had fitted a new radiator and water pump I realised the temperature gauge I fitted at the same time became redundant.

Did the new distributor come with a new rotor arm?
Or cap?

IMHO at my budget of up to £4k I should be able to buy a 2 door saloon that is structurally sound, entirely roadworthy, but needing some cosmetic and trim improvement. I wouldn't expect to pay more than 2.5-3k for a 2 door of that description, it matches my cars description which is not for sale, b...

49000, its just run in then, you can open it up now.

Well, the heather really really itches, but at least it aint made from Scottish nettles.
