Oil leak
Hi,
Duncan (1952 Series MM) has developed an oil leak from the engine to rubber connection in the bulk head.
Can you give some information on how to fix this..
Does the rubber connection disconnect?
Any help...gratefully received...
cheers,
Chris

Needless to say I have searched a...

I have at last had a chance to get some information. Yes Duncan is a 1952 version...June if I remember correctly...Duncan has thermostat housing but no water pump...there appears to be a plate covering where you would expect the pump to be. There appears to be fan blades attached to the dynamo. It's...

Still no compression
Hi, Well Duncan has been at the garage for a month now! And I'm missing him like crazy...The head gasket was replaced and then he leaked water left, right and centre. He has now had the head planed and a new gasket fitted. He originally had no compression on cylinders 3 and 4. the garage phoned and ...

no compression in 3/4 cylinders
As some of you know for the last little while Duncan has been a bit difficult to start (See post entitled 'Poor starting' for further info)..But I got him going after towing him yesterday. Today we went for his service and MOT...but after a very pleasant 20 mile drive he lost power and stopped only ...

Sorry to say that Duncan has failed to start again... The plugs are fine and there is a good spark...the battery is OK and fuel is getting through. I had planned to fit a new condenser and points...but the points are fine and when looking at the condenser...it's not connected...! is that usual with ...

Thanks guys...the good news is Duncan strated yesterday after being towed for approx 3 metres! I will invest in a starting handle, the one that came with the car doesn't fit. I will keep him running and then do the checks on the ignition system and let you know how it goes... My guess is Duncan sulk...

Now...you guys are getting a tad too technical for me...I'm pretty certain it has a dynamo....yes the fuel pump clicks...I think the LED lights come on at different times...but like kevin's request to check if I have sparks at the plugs...it's a bit tricky to check when I'm in the drivers seat... Ca...

Poor starting
Hi, Duncan, my 1952 Series MM is usually very good at starting IF he has been driven at least once a week...BUT...on the odd occassion when I am not able to take him out for a drive...he then refuses to start! Over the past little while he's had a new battery, new fuel pump, new fuel pipe, new point...

Hi eveyone, Thanks for all your replies and sorry for not responding...but for some reason the website stopped notifying me of new posts. Duncan now has a new radiator, the headgasket has been checked and he's also got a new radiator cap... So all should be well... Thanks again. Chris :D and Duncan ...
