Re: How many of you can weld, and how did you learn?
I've got a Stick Welder which I've used to do simple jobs like replace broken brackets on Exhausts, or fix gaps on Silencers. The cost of the machine has been recovered just by those simple jobs which don't requite any particular skill. A rear box for my Ford Kuga is around £180+. I brought a £99 We...

Re: Wipers
The OP stated "I have fitted a new wiper new wiper motor wheelboxes and wire. and wire.". If it really is a new motor then it shouldn't be full of hardened grease. It sounds like a major refurbishment of the system, which means disassembly and reassembly of all components, so there is a r...

Re: Membership benefits - Esso Fuel Card
Just had the debit appear on my credit card and the discount was only 4p/l not 5p/l. Before I raised it with Fuelpecker I thought I would check the current discounts and sure enough they have reduced: That's changed in the past few weeks, because I checked it when I first contacted them about the C...

Re: XPL59G
It could potentially be in a museum somewhere or private collection as a remote chance - I was watching an old (90's) TV program the other day, it had a vintage 1920/30's Bentley sports car on it - DVLA have no record of the plate on it, but I find it very hard to believe it got scrapped :D (not sa...

Re: Wipers
Sounds to me like the motor is struggling.
Either as Stephen suggests, the Motor & Gearbox needs a good overhaul, or you've not assembled it all correctly and something is a bit stiff/binding.

Re: XPL59G
Don't expect anything from this. As you've probably seen, using the DVLA Vehicle Check site, it's been un-taxed since 1/3/2005, but with a last V5C issued 2007, so it's been 'off the books' for 17 years. Almost certainly scrapped many years ago, before they tightened up on scrap yards not doing the ...

Re: TORCH!!
I've got one of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/nebo-inspector-500-rechargeable-led-light-graphite-250lm/830jp It's a rechargeable, but the same manufacturer have a range of LED lamps starting from £10. This one for example scores 4.8/5, from 170+ reviews: https://www.screwfix.com/p/nebo-lil-larry...

Re: Number plate light
So it turns out it was a blown fuse. Inline fuse under the voltage regulator. Is it ok to rewire this for a newer blade style fuse holder? That inline fuse is for far more than the Number Plate Light, it's all the side lights and the panel lights too. You probably ruptured it while fiddling with th...

Re: Remote battery isolator
Nothing wrong with an internal isolator, however I have one fitted to a battery terminal under the bonnet. I’m sure if I had a problem, I’d be under the bonnet pretty quick ! However if there was a fire, wouldn’t it be like bolting the door after the horse had bolted ? An electrical fire i.e. a bur...

Re: Brakes
I may have discribed the problem a little confusing. Regardless of who's driving with the servo connected the brakes are quite violent when pressed. I thought the servo would just ease the peddle, a bit more like a modern car. So there's no way of making them assisted. would I be better removing th...

Re: Fuel pump identification
Yes it's a Hardi Pump.
As Stephen said, when it's busted it can't be User Serviced.
SU Pumps used brackets like that in some other cars, including Mini and MGs.

The Workshop Manual is still available in print as an actual book. Typically around £35, it also comes up second hand on ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386757544889 At least there's less chance of any leaves being missing than when you buy a old ring binder version that's been in use for decades. ...

There is another consideration for use of an Isolator. Despite certain issues with some aspects of the Club's FB Group, I seem to have built a reasonable reputation for reliable and helpful advice is certain subjects.
