I guess you know this if you work on cars but make sure the bleed nipple is at the top of the slave too so it bleeds properly - have seen them upside down! as Panky says it’s most likely the fluid getting hot from the exhaust. I actually wrapped my slave cylinder when I had an exhaust that ran...

Broke the bank a bit! Surprised they say it shouldn’t need mounting with how heavy it is! Will see how it pans out once fitted.

Got a new toy to fit this Winter to go with the Davies Craig electric fan. Yeah!

Wow my post was a long time ago! I did find one in the end and played for a year or two before selling it on. Defo earned its keep in that time

Yer a sounds like I’m teaching you to suck eggs then :) Reg exhaust - been there all the way to La Rochelle and back :) Bit stumped in that case bar adjusting further. I’m fortunate enough to have an ally head engine and SU carb so goes very well up hills usually. Live in the Peak District so...

Maybe worth checking there’s no play where the gear lever connects to the selector rod (bolt that’s wired up). I’d had this where it was a little loose and it struggled to spect some gears, this is under the floor box that the gear level goes in to. Next - it may well be those 2x bushes that...

As a quick fix and might sound daft but maybe try switching the drums over to see if it helps. Sometimes it does with pulling left and right. Maybe chamfering the edges too?

Amazing what people throw out nowadays

Yorkshire fix - snapped my classic fog light switch right at the base and couldn’t find a suitable replacement. Melted a pop rivet into it and works/feels/looks lovely At least I think so :)

My favourite joke of all that one - not to be used in front of Chris Eubank

Delving deeper - ok it seems they do always make a noise

It’s a facet but the black plastic half cylinder type rather than cube. Good to know that yours does that too, maybe it’s a feature :D. Online people seem to talk about them going quiet once pressurised and mine has probably once or twice in 5 years! I’ll maybe put up with it then Ta again Mr P

The postie turned up 30 mins ago with the new 8mm to 6mm straight through connector - just replaced the 2nd fuel filter with that and hey presto it fires up from cold on the first crank. Love an easy fix :) Next one is why my electric fuel pump always seems to pump (the usually clicking) and...

Ta - will do, got a new NRV to fit just in case but maybe removing it might help. Thought if it’s old and leaky it might be draining the fuel back to tank so taking a while to come back through

Just think it’s taking a while to get fuel into and out of the second filter. Going to replace the one way fuel valve (maybe leaking back) and remove that second filter. If that doesn’t work I’ll move on to the ignition system but once it fires it fine. I’m only talking 5 seconds to fire but...

Cheers Mr P - yep Tim tank so shouldn’t be any crud anyway really. I’ll whip it off and hope it makes the difference. It also started with a few hot start issues too but fitted this sleeve and all sorted instantly

Been a while and hope everyone is doing ok. Got a QQ - recently on start up from cold the van takes loads of cranking, always used to be instant, I’m assuming it’s a fuelling issue. I’m thinking it’s due to the fuel filter between the tank and the SU carb (the van has an elec fuel pump so has a...

Very nice. What’s the life expectancy of it then ;)

Hi and congratulations. Defo buy the new parts for the clutchslave, master and the brake master. I’ve tried and never had much luck with the repair kits due to damage in the bores themselves. Since fitted new and they’ve been great. Also likely cheaper than the garage doing the seal changes...

The Commer is still years ahead of its time for size v space
