    LED Rear light units

    Sounds like a lot of mucking about and outlay just to get some LEDs on the van (even if they were road-legal)?

    Tyres

    We've just had 195/80 R15Cs fitted to ours. £76 a corner, fitted. Not the cheapest but the tyre place is really convenient so they got our business. As a result we have a set of four 195/55 R15 laying "fallow" if they're of use to anyone? Really good tread, hardly used. Changing from 155 to 80...

    Today's stupid question: Correct Spark Plugs and Carb behaviour

    Ace info! Thanks all :-) Best avoid flapping the accelerator about then. At some point we'll do the HIF44 conversion but first things first .. gotta get him running well and get used to driving him, which is currently going very well :-D

    Today's stupid question: Correct Spark Plugs and Carb behaviour

    Aha - according to this site: http://sparkplugcrossreference.co.uk/1231-ngk/1245-champion/n9y-n9y-n9y.html N9Y = NGK BP6ES so the BP7ES he had were too 'cold'. Hm. The NGK site suggests symptoms would be: "Carbon fouling occurs when the spark plug firing end does not reach the self-cleaning...

    Today's stupid question: Correct Spark Plugs and Carb behaviour

    Hi folks What are the correct spark plugs for the 1725cc engine, with cast iron head ? (ie .. completely standard) Our van had NGK BP7ES ( think that's right - definitely a 7) but just as a test I've replaced them with new BP5ES (think that's right) from my Triumph 2500. He runs just fine but...

    seat adjuster

    Panky: good plan, i hadnt thought of extending those arms. The challenge is that my wife really likes the seat as it is so i need to accommodate myself without compromising her position, as it were.

    wheel stud rotating in drum

    I managed to cut about a millimetre or so off the nut 'depth' and cut a flat into the sides of the thread, which gave me enough to grab the stud with mole grips. With some carefully considered effort and language, it all came apart ☺ Martin - thanks for the info, do you have wheel studs in...
