  1. Start by checking the state of the filter where the water arrives. It may begunged up. Taking the pump apart isn’t a big deal.However the pump components wear rather more quickly than they should, particularly if the water is not too clean. If this is the case the reduction in pressure at the business end is slow but constant. My betting is on the filter being clogged up. james
  2. I get on well with re-using window cleaner trigger operated aerosol bottles. - I like ‘em cos they’re free. james
  3. I have experienced this a couple of times after a winter break. I have managed to remediate the under reading by adding some coolant -even a lot of coolant - and then let the car get really hot on tick over with the front end well raised. My deduction is that an airlock forms in the bulb/ thermostat housing. james
  4. Try Betaset in Paris betaset.fr They have 3 in stock! james
  5. I am not at home at the moment so can't take a photo but I'm almost certain they are repros james
  6. The splined arms have a little spring which is supposed to clip under the splined part on the shaft. If the splines on the arms and the spindle seem to work fairly efficiently - although they do wear - this is not the case of the clip which is useless and barely holds the two together. I plan a belt and braces operation using blue Loctite to hold the splined buts together together with the Pete Wigglesworth wiring arrangement to stop them flying apart at the wrong moment. I should then be prepared for summer james
  7. Well, I’ve got a drawerful of wiper arms that I could try. Won’t be going the pink ribbon route though, some folks might get the wrong idea. Like the SS wire route. james
  8. In preparation for a wet summer and even a visit to Malvern, I’m about to soft glue the windscreen wiper arms to the splines in exaspération. They leap off at the first opportunity, the little clips no longer performing their function - did they ever? Is anybody going to tell me that I’m making a serious mistake? james
  9. Bit surprised you’ve taken it off. I don’t think you can have enough earths!! james
  10. I can't speak for TR4/4A but on sidescreen cars the original earth strap is around the engine mounting. Many of us have added a further one such as yours. james
  11. Although I use my 3A throughout the year, thanks to an early spring here, I have been out with my 3A quite a lot this week with the tonneau cover closed on the passenger side and sidescreens in situ (they will be replaced by the wind wings in a few weeks) Even after some 54 years of sidescreen cars, I’ve not yet figured out how to reconcile driving with sidescreens and tonneau cover. In my case I just let it hang down unsecured inside the door and hope for the best, which doesn’t stop the drips and doesn’t help the state of the tonneau either. How do you folks fix the tonneau around
