I'd still be inclined to check at the tap end to make sure everything moves as it should. Otherwise you'll end up bending the cable when it's trying...

I was wondering if anyone kindly knows of a place where I can get a stainless steel, cat-back exhaust system supplied and fitted to my BX,...

Dear Brian.
On the Friday, before the jubilee bank holiday I e-mailed Longlife at Ashford Brian. Asking if it would still be OK to still have the...

Cheers, yeah, I was thinking a bit of PTFE around the threads would be a good idea.
Would a gasket glue kind of thing work to replace the seal? The...
I went to turn the Hurricane over this evening but the battery was flat (I'd left an interior light on - whoops!). I couldn't get the car out of the...

Ah. I'd misread your first post as having happened to the TGD. Pretty sure that simply disconnecting the plug on the bottom of the header tank will...
I've been having a few intermittent starting issues as of late, with the starter motor occasionally failing to engage... It's been getting much worse...
Last post
It's alright, I got it off in the end... looks like the starter only has 2 out of the 3 bolts holding it on!
While changing the sub frame I also fitted a spare rack. Now it's all connected up I can tell there is play in the O/S axial joint of the rack. I've...

whip the TRE off completely, then remove the gaitor. You'll then see the axial joint. It just screws into the rack. Access is a bit of a ballache,...
Occasionally, I seem to lose my power steering for a few minutes at a time, and then it comes back to normal. If it's any help, the hydraulic warning...

i thought the reason they stay up after fluid change was due to the air would have been freshly bled,

What grade of fuel piping? There are quite a few! Ever noticed at a petrol station that the grade of diesel hose and petrol hose is (usually)...

That will be the hose then, as me and Steve suggested. On the lower edge of the front of the intercooler you should find either the remains of a...

I had an intermittant dipped beam filament once, it took ages to find that one.

It's not many hours to take it away intact, once you've removed the rad, alternator, accumulator unit, hoses, wiring and the hydraulic pipes. I'd try...

If it's just the fuel pipes and nowt else, mine only took 2-3 hours to get done and Dinotrol(l?)ed so they last a while.

Fair enough, it probably makes sense to do both sides if one is looking knackered as you've suggested & have found out.
The Mk1 is getting very clonky at the front end. Some of that is probably a worn track rod end (on the to do list) though I'm hoping the clonk I can...
