Think when I bought my 4a the seats had been well wrapped in cling film for over 10years, still perfect. Dale

Well said Sue. Dale

Unsure whether it's necessary to have the hole anyway. There's very little displacement of fluid in the brake circuit (unlike the clutch). Are you sure it's coming from the brake cylinder not the clutch? Dale

There's a hole in my cap Dale

That's an idea Roger, but while the original wiper motor works ok I'll think I'll stick with it. I did find a 4 position pull switch here https://downtoearthautoelectrics.co.uk/product/four-position-headlight-switch-off-side-dip-main/ but hard to say if it would be a straightforward replacement in the dash. I know I could get it working with the help of a few relays and the timer Dale

Looking at my original handbook elec diagram there should be 2 brown wires going to the lighting switch. One comes from the back of the ignition switch, brown/blue (brown at the lighting switch connector) which sends power to the headlights via the dip switch, also back up the fuse 1 which protects the sidelights. The other, green/brown going to brown at the lighting switch, comes from fuse 2 which protects the flash function. My diagram shows the same error as your first post, where the flash would work whichever filaments were selected on the dip switch Obviously wrong. I'll try to ge

That diagram looks wrong to me. The flasher wire Brown / blue? Should go to the bullet connector Blue/white otherwise the flash will work on whichever the main /dip is selected on the dip switch Dale

Yeah, be nice just to use the existing switch hole on the dash board. First pull would be delay, say fixed to 5 secs or so Wouldn't really need to be adjustable. Then second pull slow speed and finally high speed. Have to think about it. It would be a useful feature

I'd like to know if there's a 4 position switch to replace the 3 position for the 2 speed wipers on my 4a Dale

There is this one https://www.autodoc.co.uk/esen-skv/20922073#hydraulic-hose-steering-system Or this https://www.autodoc.co.uk/esen-skv/20922100#hydraulic-hose-steering-system Or even https://www.autodoc.co.uk/aic/16116154#hydraulic-hose-steering-system Do any of those look like it Dale

Is this the pipe Keith https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276416951100?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tyIgG88MRIu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8UydCdW9Qgi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Dale

Could be the offset then. Can't remember what's recommended for a Tr Dale

Can't remember what the cost of my repair was ( I was getting water entering one of the exhaust ports) Plus the cost of machining and fitting the new valve seats, would have been nearer the quote from Frazerbrown. I would have gone scrap the head and get another one route otherwise. Heyho you have another option now Simon. Dale

Might be worth speaking to Slinden services, If I remember there somewhere between Leicester and Derby. They repaired my cylinder head 10 years or so ago. Had hardened seats fitted at the same time. Happy customer. Dale

I sacrificed this 8 mm combo spanner some time ago when I needed to remove it to adjust the solenoid. The pull in coil contacts were not breaking when the solenoid was pulled in. Ian's probably right that originally they would be slot headed screws, but somewhere in the rebuild of my 4a, I must have used whatever came to hand. My cover is original and has no access holes. It's a pain to remove the H frame. It's probably a bigger pain to access from underneath, but it's doable Dale
