Re: Do you guys feel safe driving your Moggy??

A couple of years ago a transit connect cut across me and dented the front wing on my Traveller leaving more damage to his side/rear quarter. I think our cars are more solid than some of the modern cars, the problem that I find is that you have to think ahead for the other drivers pulling out too so...

Re: solid brake pedal

I had the same issue, not on a minor though. I was messing with the master cylinder trying to get less pedal travel. After driving a few miles the car come to a stop with a pressurised system and solid pedal, readjusting to give some pedal free play released the pressure and normal braking returned...

Re: solid brake pedal

Just to add to my previous message.. I have attached photos of the wheel cylinders. I cant refit the drum on as it is as I pushed the brake pedal with my hand so I will have to push back the cylinder.

Re: fuel gauge not working

Ive looked at the fuel sender units listed and the correct one for my year appears to be the one in the photo, which has an additional control unit on the top. The one that has been fitted to my car has a flat top with just a connection terminal which maybe the later model? If possible can somebody ...
