And would be cheaper, always a plus point. 🙄 -
I don't think the rattle is a problem, just a quirk of the cars. It only lasts a couple of seconds, less than the time it takes to put on the seat belt. I would just advise not to immediately floor the pedal when you start up, as with any engine be kind until it is warm. After the first start of the day I don't get it again until the car has been left unused for several days.

Don't take it to heart, we all think you're a museum piece.

I know it wouldn't be to your taste as you prefer the simpler things in life . . .But Colin is that be more adventurous

Not NOS but might appeal to your refined tastes. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/363915142741?hash=item54bb086655:g:J~4AAOSwdrhbz-S9

Words, other than those the moderator would delete, fail me. . .

When I do that I use a spare old battery I have in stock not on the car

**THREAD DRIFT** This refers to your comment on the other site thread I assume? I've got the same type of wheel on my 13/60 and might be interested, I do need to spend more money on MY car 😁. Pop a link on the other thread, ta!

You can't take it with you they say. In my case I won't have any to take with me. Today's expenditure on the car : 13€11 split almost 50/50 between the cost of a new heater fan switch and postage. At least fitting it was genuinely a 5 minute job.

As Colin says. Although that particular model may be quite old the style is still in use by some mechanics; although the unit is in plastic these days. A nice bit of kit!

I'm happy with it now that I am used to it. I suspect my neighbours think the car has starting problems, but who cares what the neighbours think 😁

Straight forward 'fine tuning' easy when you use the right hammers. Good to read you got it sorted.

You can rely on me, I don't even know what you are talking about. . .

In that case for me it will be blind . . .🤪

The latest tech advance, stereoscopic threads - one for each eye .

Look on the bright side. The delay in starting while petrol gets to the carbs gives the oil pump time to pressure the system and avoid 'The Death Rattle'.

What is?

I would agree with that, there isn't a week that goes by without the problem coming up. Buy Gates from a proper supplier. I bought mine from the local car spares place, they supply to just about every garage in the area.

So it would seem, I'll try and remember that.

Hummm. . . They tend to disappear very quickly after reaching the store room, I have no idea where they go, they just disapear . . .

Not necessarily. There are quite few different standards - E5 & E10, maximum pressure etc. I would have thought any reliable motor parts store would ONLY be selling hose that was at least ok for E5 & E10, plus diesel and high pressure. J30R7 is ok for E5 & E10, I believe. Check out Frost.co.uk for the various specs.

Possibly as much as a new loom? It's not that hard to check a loom Out of interest I've just looked up how much a new loom costs, 300€ ish. If my local man would do the under dash area for that I would pay that and give him some extra beer/wine tokens!

I know. If you really want to help you could pop round and rewire it for me. All the tea & coffee you can drink but I'm afraid the bacon isn't up to your usual standards. 😁

No, it's just that slow coach Mr Lindsay . . .

That man Doug got there before you AGAIN!
