    The leaves on my drive get blown onto the lane, the prevailing wind then dumps then on my neighbors drive It is his damn tree...... Tony.

    The twin choke down draft Weber that Colin has would be a worthwhile fit. They are a great carb it's like having a twin carb set up when you need it and a single when you don't. Even putting a 1500 in is reversable. Tony.

    This young lady says they work well Tony.

    I don't think it would be worthwhile Jon, not without a lot more work on the engine. You will have a bigger fuel bill for a start and not a lot of extra grunt. Just my opinion others might think different. Tony.

    Just suck a bit of engine cleaner or a bit through it Mike to clean it. It will work to refill it but will take just as long. Much much longer if you use ep140 oil as i did.... Tony.

    I have had HI-Fly on a modern and they were far superior to the Continental Contact crap that were on the car. Never had any problems, but i do drive to the conditions. Getting to old now for excess speed and sideways around corners sadly Though i did rather enjoy it my day Sorry Cliff, Falken do have a good reputation a friend has them on his Stag. Tony.

    It would actually BW i didn't have any to hand at the time, you will bending it bit by bit you will get it the right shape. I had the same problem with 1/4 it just catches eveywhere so a few bends and it works, mine is an odd shape but it goes right down to the bottom. Tony.

    I paid a bit extra Pete and got the liquid stuff, Oxalic acid was what i was looking for. Now "Vim" i remember it well with Ajax. Both made sneeze and my little t##t of a brother made sure there was some on my pillow if i upset him.... Tony.

    You are getting a bit personal Jeff Tony.

    Bar keepers friend is Great Iain, i use it once a year, there is a chemical in it that is like Kurust (can't remember what it is though) and use a polish. I stay away from metal polish though. Tony.

    There are some shoulder washers that may do the job. They are usually used on exhaust straps. Tony.

    This is the make i used Chris https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303956199768?hash=item46c5338958:g:DRIAAOSwp~VctfPe I know it's 5ltr's but for the spec and the price you can't beat it. And It came very well packed. Tony.

    Sorry Mike, i need to concentrate more Colin's idea sounds good, i have used a pair of 90 deg internal circlip pliers before now on switch nuts with masking tape to avoid mishaps. Tony.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353522495698?hash=item524f9530d2:g:6sgAAOSwVMVgJD7Z There are these on fleabay Mike. Tony.

    I used fuel pipe Mike 1/4 it just makes it drain a bit faster, but i was using a hand pump. Brake pipe will do the job though. Tony.

    If you use metal tube Mike you can hear it when it bottom's in the casing and it goes where you want it once you have the right bend. Tony.

    That is what my mates called my version Tony.

    Hi Mike, I have one of the suction pumps but it's difficult (no pun intended) to get to the bottom of the diff. So i made this up with a piece of 1/4 metal fuel pipe a primer bulb (fleabay £5) and rubber fuel hose. It got everything out of the diff and i also washed it around with a bit of parrafin. I refilled mine (Dolomite) with ep140's since then you can't hear the slight whine and the oil leaks have stopped. I used the suction pump to refill it. Tony.

    You are right Johny they don't. They are just a standard filter as is the GFE173. I think Paul H is getting away from anti drain valves Though after his last problem. Tony.
  22. poppyman
    And gravy... Tony.

    Sounds like a master cylinder problem Alan? I'm never a fan of fitting repair kits to the braking system. You could try re-fitting the old rubbers see if makes any difference? Tony.

    Anyone would think i was a hooligan Getting to old and knackered for that Pete Tony.

    No apologies needed Dave, and the tip is a very good one. I have never heard of it before but it makes perfect sense and its cheap Whats not to like about saving money. Tony.
