Maybe the level of your drive has dropped, if gravel or blocks it will be easier and cheaper to raise.
Tyre pressure and contents of boot could also cause problems

I am having the same problem trying to renew my membership. The joke is I'm getting emails reminding me that I need to renew.

What are the thoughts on supermarket fuel, I recently had to replace all of the injectors on my modern daily driver. (50,000miles)
The garage that fixed it informed me that when all injectors fail at the same time, cheap supermarket fuel is most likely to be the cause

Just to clarify the hose in your picture isn't the one that is used for the test from memory the red hose that connects to the air pressure switch is the one.
There is a sequence to a boiler firing If you are sure that you have power to the fan then that would suggest that the PCB is ok.
-
Simple test, disconnect the plastic hose that connects near the fan housing gently suck or blow this will fool the pressure switch if the boiler goes through its firing sequence you need a new fan.

They should have had AA or RAC motorcycle & sidecar in parade,it would have looked like part of the display.
Or a couple of jobsworths clamping it and sticking tickets all over it.

Thanks for the advice gents, waiting for the rain to stop and I'll be out there swearing.

Is it advisable to use jointing paste on fuel lines?. I will be replacing flexible hose to MU and concerned about possible problems if any paste should get into MU or injectors

Hi all,
Just checked rubber fuel hose rimmers cat no 214890, possibly 25yrs old and it feels and looks like it needs replacing. The S/S braided is slightly more expensive so is that better ? Having read about damage that ethanol can do is there something better I can use.

Having done a few similar projects in the past, I would ask the local building control office. They will tell you what needs to be done and what materials are suitable.
As previously mentioned it could be very costly if you get it wrong.

Last year when I picked the car up from voluntary MOT, the Overdrive switch was in the on position and the car had been reversed into parking bay. The switch may have been accidentally knocked or used as lights/indicator. Would the inhibitor switch prevent damage, although I would rather not risk it.I really don't want to give a toolbox talk on the workings of a TR when I take it this year, and was thinking if it is possible to pull wires on relay switch, I have two red, a white and green, can anyone advise if this is possible and what wires to pull.
Any advice greatfuly received

He don't like being called that, you're be getting a visit from the boy's with the special perfume.

Get yourself a bag of cold lay macadam from wickes about £8.00.
Warm the area as you fill it you will get better adhesion

We have overcome problems in the past (ie- when on the many occasions the French have blockaded the Calais docks) I'm sure we will overcome this

Would it be possible to take the weight by the head, lift off the floor 10mm so that the weight of the block can work in your favour. Might be worth temporarily replacing the studs loosely so you can keep control of the block.
ps I'm not a mechanic and might be talking a load of s*it

Hi Richard,
I changed my radiator about 10 years ago (long story). Have the old one in the garage, as far as I know nothing wrong with it. Mine is a 72 cp model which is as far as I am aware is the correct one. I am in Bletchley and your welcome to it for a small donation to help the heroes.
Not to clever on PM contact but I'm sure that a meeting can be arranged.

If my memory serves the choke to the manifold was sometimes not connected because the original oil filter used to drain of oil, and upon starting a fast revving engine could have little or no oil until oil pressure built up.
-
Been out for a run with solenoid disconnected all seems OK, will check wiring & connections and change oil in gearbox hopefully that will sort it.
-
Solenoid horizontal assuming it is definitely J type, the problem I have is overdrive seems to intermittently engage on 2,3,4th gears with switch off. I have disconnected feed to solenoid I will take it out tomorrow to see if it continues. Wires and connectors looking a bit tired so hopefully it might be bad connection.

I discovered that a nut had been used as a spacer ( wrong slave cyl fitted) . Something like that might work for you rather than a loose nut in the slave cylinder.
