Hi guys
Had the moter part of my lucas pump stick ( fail to rotate ).
Have got the pump/moter apart now and will get new brushes etc.
When I come to put it back together is it worth a little bit of grease on where the shaft seal goes
and where the end float bush ( in casing ) is ?.
many thanks

THanks again

Thanks Bill

Hi folks
Has anyone got a paper copy of this brochure? The reason I ask is that Derek (in the latest TR register magazine) has got my car (CP77058-0) down as the one used in this brochure but when I look at examples on the 'net the seats and trim are a different colour (they show them as black whereas mine are light tan). Is it possible they changed them after the photo shoot or is there another car (mine) pictured that I haven't seen?
Many thanks

hi
Just like to say each to there own .I used this service and found out alot from the man i wrote to
who purchased it new in 73 and sold it 50000 miles later in 85 . Talking to him and he was only 22
when he bought it i realise what a babe magnet our cars were in the 70s.
Are they still ?

Nick, how/where do you fit the restrictor? Cheers. Steve.
hi Steve
I fitted a tapered pin (home made on a off-hand grinder)in the hole of the banjo bolt after reading comments on this forum. Restricts the hole to approx 1mm from about 3 on the standard oil feed kit.
hope this helps

hi
I did this job last week at home and i have very little skill !
As long as your tank is half full or less you can disconnet the feed pipe to the pump and tape it as high on tank as you can .Then tape outlet pipe high on boot hinge .Get a new seal and o ring from rimmers or where ever about 15 quid with post age . Disconnect the wires and mark which feed goes to which . Get the pump off the car and undo the 6 bolt hold in the pump to the moter and put it to 1 side . Then undo the 2 screws on the moter body and pull it off gently the moter brushes wiil spring forward .you should be able to care fully tap the seal out . only tricky but is hold in the brushes back on reassemble 2 bits of bent wire and 3 pairs of hands ! .I had no probs with air in system and saved a couple of hundred the fun for me in own in these cars is the falabilty of them and the way they drive .
Just the usual "survival" tips when dealing with fuel.Disconnect the battery, do the work out in the fresh air away from sources of ignition, fire extinguisher to hand, a mate to watch your back / lend a hand,etc

hi
had this problem last week when i changed the coolant on my 72 pi , turned out to be an airlock .
System had to be full topped right up with expansion bottle held above the level of the cap with the engine running to clear the airlock . even then it pulled another pint or so out of the bottle when i put it away after a run .

Thanks. Am looking into the Bosch kit, but am probably going to go for the speed of turnaround option at the moment and move to Bosch over the winter.
Anyone able to advise on how much fuel I can expect to appear when removing the pump if I have it clamped pump-side of the filter? Presumably I will need to clamp along the outlet pipe also else I'll get fuel flowing back in from that side also?
What happens about air being in the system after a new pump is put in place or does that just work it's way out?

hi guys
On my heritage cert on point 12 other information it states "This vehicle is recoreded as being a'photography car." I was just wondering, are there any more out there? And has anybody done any research about it?
thanks

Thanks Tony
That is just what i did and could not understand so little movement !

hi guys,
I have a 1972 pi car with 63000 miles on the clock.
Trying to work out if any thing as ever been done to the bottem end with out dropping the sump .
I have had the car 7 years and the oil pressure as always been very good.
How much movement would you expect to see on a D.T.I for a car with this mileage ,set agianst the crankshaft
pully when you press the clutch in . I only had just over a thou i was expecting 3 or 4 minumum end float movement.
many thanks for any ideas

hi delboy
] had this problem for a while once ,turned out it was the braided hose to the caliper had
gone internally .let pressure on and not let it off passed at least 2 mots passed with it !
Also a lot off smoke (burn in grease )into the passenger footwell once on to the future wife
she was not impressed !

hi Dex
Unzip the back 1 and let it down then lower the hood keep in the side ones out side the car so they fold
in over the top . Just avoid crease in them and they should stay great . Mine are 38 years old and still good .
If i have explianed it wrong sorry some body put me right please.

Thanks for the advice it was grey colour hard plastic . I should have put it in the bin
but i just cut it down and super glued it !
cheers lads

jmo,
If it's the same as the one supplied by TRF it's just about impossible. No amount of heat will make it flexible enough short of melting it altogether. After several attempts, I managed by removing much of the beveled diameter, then notching in (3) places to allow it to contract sufficiently to be pushed through. I left enough of the flange to retain it in position, barely. This side went into the footwell, out of sight.
The part as supplied is simply wrong. I can't imagine anyone else struggling as I did to make it work in spite of itself

At work a couple years ago I was look in through a sept 1990 edtion car magazine.
It must have been the top price bubble !
There was my tr6 72 cp car on the forecourt for 12950 pounds unrestored at tr bitz
When I purchased it in 03 I paid 8000 for it restored and the guy who sold it me is my friend and he was not make in a loss
so someone lost a pretty penny !
Needless to say advert now in history file .
