Code 82 as Ian says; I don't know if this will help or confuse things but I've found modern codes for it as well:

With the usual mods - chopped tunnel, different rear mount and shortened propshaft it's a straight fit; but the clutch plate will need to be Dolomite to fit the input shaft. Bellhousing requires no mods. I have one in my Mk1, almost twenty years now and no problems. EDIT! This was a rough draft that somehow self-posted when I tried to cancel after realising it was a single rail... blame the software!! (Hides....)

When I bought the Mondeo there was the usual: 'give us a few days to get it through MOT and valeted' palaver from the dealer. I picked it up a week later and the boot was full of children's toys, with baby clothes in the compartments on the rear of the front seats; they'd been using it for the school run and to / from the childminders.

This is what I found in mine about a month ago; I've no idea of what it is but it'll run better without...

I have one from about 15 years ago, as Peter says, they were a 'must have' and I fell for the hype. Tried to use it once, and it went back into the packet. It's still hanging on the garage wall.

1. No 2. No. Well, some do, but not all, so check if possible. 3. No. I've just replaced the Herald hoses, had to buy the copper washers as extras. Also had to reuse the outer springs but luckily had a few spare. I've no idea of who makes the ones I bought; they were just supplied in clear packets (Paddocks) and I reckon three to five years will require another change.

Something similar used on rear wheel cylinders; but that one looks quite big?

I - as usual - thought it was just me; I'd just watched the 'Cat and toilet roll' video in the Lounge section and assumed my security had blocked something untoward. After an hour scanning, cleaning and deleting cookies I gave up and went off for the day. Just got back and glad to see we're up and running. The Mac probably needed a good cleanout anyway.

I regularly get offered 'bargains' from the mate's breakers and dealers business, one Jag recently had 23 faults on the dashboard display. Far too many gimmicks to go wrong. I was born with a pair of fluid level and tyre pressure sensors and they're still working.

Yes, there are one or two on eBay that I use time and time again (jumblemaster for one); some of the bigger concerns on the Net in general don't really care or have too much going on to bother worrying about what they supply to a very small percentage of their customers.

It would have been okay had it been cleaned off, that seems like poor preparation before painting, although the bare metal will rust amazingly quickly if not coated with something. I use aluminium oxide, good grit qualities and doesn't wear out too quickly. I tried some kind of coal residue recently and it was rubbish.

If you look at the witness marks of blackened fuel residue that actually looks to be blowing back from the inlet pipe; it starts around the screw-in connector and continues across the top, well above the diaphragm, before running down to the horizontal surface. I'd try to clean the old pump up and address the leak at the inlet. There's currently a thread on here concerning the wrong type of pumps being currently supplied that are putting out too much fuel:

Yep, got one of those and the curves are perfect, but it takes a small version to give you a really tight bend. You can't replicate a tight U-shape so easily with the hand-held TSSC version and certainly not as easily on kunifer. However being a close relative of Ebenezer I'd rather pay THIS for it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-72376-Micro-Tube-Brake-Pipe-Bender-Bending-Tool-for-8mm-10mm-12mm-Tubing/352289061995?epid=16018325869&hash=item5206107c6b:g:tnwAAOSwYwZcHOyT

That is what I would call 'heavy duty'! Certainly well made but possibly for a sportier model than the Herald?

While we're on the subject, I bought a pair of these thingies a while back, but have no idea at all of how to use them! Any ideas? It can't be as simple as clamping the pipe between two of them then simply bending it by hand, can it?

If you check the suitability listing for many pumps (which is hopefully correctly listed by the supplier!) you'll see that many are listed for Heralds and Spitfires; correct as most 1147 Spits and Heralds used the same pump as did 1300 Herald and Spitfires. 1500 Spitfires did not as they required a different lever due to the insulation block - and as there was never a factory 1500 Herald then that's also correct; but many suppliers and alas sometimes buyers assume one pump fits all. The only problem I've ever had fitting a pump was to put the lever behind the cam rather than in front of it; you think the pump is hitting something - which it should - but you don't realise there's spring pressure to overcome, and so you manoeuvre the lever until the pump fits flush, which means the lever has gone under and up behind the cam, and so won't be operated.

Depends who you buy from; there are a number of suppliers and some are more 'in the know' than others, who as you say do the one-size-fits-all' version. Even just studying the photos you can see the one on the left (the 208493) at £25 is completely wrong, the cam lever looks to be cheap rubbish that has damage even on the listed photo, whilst the one on the right has the removable top for cleaning the filter, as per the original, and is £21, so better value from the start.

Treat them as rubber hoses with a metal outer for protection; they last only as long as normal rubber hoses and believe me can deteriorate under the braiding. They don't make any difference to braking as some sellers claim, if the rubber is so soft that it needs a metal outer to keep it in shape then it's perished and if it can't expand outwards it'll collapse inwards. The braided hoses look thinner but it's only because they have a metal outer which can be much thinner than the rubber version, but inside they're really only the same - a thin rubber pipe for the fluid and a protective outer. I replaced my GT6 hoses after 15 years once I noticed some deterioration, using Club-supplied Goodrich hoses, but on the Herald I'm just using rubber; cheaper for one thing but no difference in performance.

If you're replacing them some suppliers recommend a blind rivet, part number RU610313; as usual don't buy the Triumph part at about £1.60 each, go for the Landrover version at about a fiver for fifty...

Make sure of the thread before you do; I can't remember it off-hand but it might be a hard one to replace. Best be sure! What are you doing about the top rivet on the little hinge?

Same channel used on classics such as Landrover and VW so don't get ripped off buying the 'Triumph' part; chances are it's just the same with £££s added on for 'overheads'. Woolies seem to be very good at present. https://www.rubbertrim.co.uk/product/t83-window-channel/ https://www.rubbertrim.co.uk/product-category/window-weatherstrips-channels/window-channels/ https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/category/341/single-track

Spare a pound, guv?

Double whammy... parked in a lane for long periods, and someone highlighted it on Social Media as being dumped... However these days theft is just a result of deprivation and lack of opportunity, so we can't really blame the thieves. No doubt they lit the fire to keep themselves warm...
