yup, sorry, just saw question was two part, EP90 in diff and engine oil in gearbox

ive used the EP80/90 - checked the manual and that's what is said to use.

sorry to dig this up - I noticed that one of my front chassis legs is slightly dented in due to (what I imagine) is someone jacking it up there before. is the dent a structural issue or just cosmetic (ie. should I be bothered about it?)

righty ho and thanks both. will get back to work next weekend!

thanks Les - not quite sure why i didn't think of that!! take it leaving the nut without the tab washer is a bad idea, or is it more a belt and braces approach?

i tried that but the b****r didn't want to go round at all - when you say ease, do you mean push it in side by side, or turn it with the file similar to how the nut is tightened (which i imagine would be hard considering how narrow it is)? if there's no specific technique i might just try to ease it...

evening all! after fixing an oil leak from the driver side rear wheel, the other side started leaking this week as well! Whilst replacing all the potential leak points I had a problem with getting either the new or old tab washer screwed back in. on the other wheel, the tab washer just went quite ni...

would this fit the bill for the duplex timing kit?

evening all!

just wondering - i may get shot down for this, but i love the look of old GB badges on classics and was thinking about putting one on Henry. anyone got any recommendations - can see quite a few on ebay, but dubious about quality...

sorry for link again, but anyone ever looked at these before?

engine is gold seal 1098 on a 66 traveller, so hoping that I do have the neoprene version! i take it i should only buy the oil seal in that case?

had a look at charles ware site with the exploded diagrams and can't see the diagram for this seal

sorry for link, but is this the seal i should be going for? http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=58&osCsid=9924ea5f97468b42439df430cbc10aab worth getting one of these too? http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=59&osCsid=9924ea5f97468b424...

the whole back of the lorry thing is worrying. if they do do that then my engine cutout switch and disklok aren't going to do much good. i did buy a window stencil kit, but haven't got round to using it yet, maybe i should.

beyond that, i imagine it's all about good or back luck

yup - used mintex shoes all over. i asked whether he thought the cylinders were part seized and he said they were all fine. very strange all round. might try one last tighten up, but can hear the shoes just rubbing when spinning wheel with handbrakes off. on the crank - have no idea, he just said i'...

little bit of an update.. so tightened the handbrake cables - until it couldn't be pulled any more after the 4th click on the ratchet. took for a test run and pulling the handbrake on still didn't lock the rear wheels, but did slow the car down, albeit in 20m or so from 20mph. took to local garage w...

Hi all, Looking into buying oil to reproof the wood on the traveller once the weather gets better. I had my wood completely redone at Charles ware last year, so it's been drenched in cuprinol with (I believe) a Danish oil finish. Might start a fight here, but would it be better to recoil with Danish...

could you IM me Declan's website/details please? interested myself

i bought the medium sized car cover from Halfords and it's been really great. Car kept completely dry throughout the winter - only problem is that it's impossible to fit back into its carry bag once it's out!

i too get this ping, normally at the lower end of first gear when pulling away. to me, it sounds like a metallic disc getting pulled/sucked from one end of a chamber to another. still haven't figured out what it is.

no fix as of yet (havent had any time to work on the car), but when using it today noticed that the handbrake easily goes to 5 clicks on the ratchet with little to no resistance, so hoping the adjusting the nuts will solve this particular issue
