Thats right Mick, with this type of unit theres nothing else. This is good for looks and simplicity but possibly bad for the cooling of the electronics... Be aware that when swopping between the module and points the ignition timing will probably need resetting. Because of this I have bought just a spare module (11 pounds ebay) which I can install by the roadside, undoing the little allen screws and so hopefully leaving the timing unaffected...

Colin with this upgrade I know the air blast will be more powerful but does the air come out warm enough? I suspect with my heater output the temperature would be quite low...
-
The thing is they can take readings from the OBD already but Im not sure theyre actually sending the associated vehicle identity info direct to DVLA yet but they will...
-
I think its still possible to test an alternative vehicle in place of the one needing an MOT but this wont be possible for much longer as the tester will be plugged into the OBD and know everything...

The search came up with this thread under 'Micra'

Bit of bent wire to hook it out as you can see in the diagram....

A fraction protruding to get some solder on would be ideal - dont want to get it on the olive though👍
-
If youre worried about the compressing the olive onto the pipe I think you could solder it instead. Then the fitting wont have to be pulled up so hard and sealing shouldnt be any problem as this is done by the olives front face and the pressure is minimal...
-
Reckon you need one of these and it looks like its got as much of a cone for the olive as your old one...
-
Be aware that the brake fittings are 3/8" UNF and look very similar to the new item in your photo but are obviously not the same as the bigger fuel pump component...
-
Is it the same as the pipe connection to the fuel pump on Spitfires and Heralds, item 60176? This is 1/2" x 20 UNF and I would have thought so - it comes in brass but is listed as also for brake pipes so probably doesnt have much of an inner cone. In the end you might have to drill your own cone to better suit the olive...

Id be very surprised if it affected tickover as any restriction will have most affect at higher gas flows ie when doing a lot of revs so at idle the back pressure change should be negligible. However keep an eye on the wire wool as it may either disintegrate or bung up over time.... Ive installed a motorcycle adjustable tubular baffle in the end of my Vitesse single stainless silencer and it has reduced noise with no other effects.

Heres a worse one but the good news is theres only one model for both doors so they are flippable. Just got to hope the undersides are good...
-
And I take it the setting of the drive gear end float was successful in the end Aidan?
-
Ha, could be but if you look on ebay at second hand ones many have something similar but usually more numerous. I think they are chrome over alloy which seems to be susceptible to this...
-
Have to agree and unfortunately quite common. They are available new (expensively) or you might be able to swop them over door to door if the underside is better...

I think this is one of the original mechanical capillary units which has a fluid inside that expands on heating to operate a thermostat contact. Quite reliable and if theres a leak it fails safe and wont start the fan. Like this:
-
As the rectifiers had it you can just cut its connections which should make it easier to desolder. Of course then youve still got to connect the new rectifier but at least you can tin that with solder first...

Theres this offering: KENLOWE THERMAL TRANSMITER HOSE TO RADIATOR RUBBER SEAL SLEEVE ELECTRIC FAN OC31 | eBay

The true backlash of crownwheel and pinion is difficult to measure from outside the diff as the play felt between its input and output shafts is more to do with the sun and planet gears of which I dont think theres any tolerance mentioned in the manual....
-
Is it noisy then Iain? I find the rubber bushes if original and not bathed in oil are usually good although they may not look pretty...
-
Wow you are looking for work Iain😁

I like my dynamo and its clunky regulator box as its another thing that separates it from modern vehicles so then at shows I can enthrall spectators with descriptions of how it all works🤣 -
I take it theres a strong smell of fuel? Sometimes I just get starts wrong - too much choke, the plugs get wet and I start to think somethings failed...
-
Is your choke system working ok?
