[Rear diff oil seal.]

Hi 

Did my seal a few months back.

Count the turns of the nut.

Remove oil seal with seal remover leveror a screwdriver.

Apply lock tight

Tighen nut back up and of course count the turns 

Torque up as recommended

Job done

[Spark plug torque (how much)]

Just tighten and feel the washer spread and that is enough.  The rest is garbage

[No sliding joint on Propshaft]

I have a 1360 herald and I am sure my prop shaft is solid no sliding joints or straps am I correct is there such a thing

[ACCUSPARK PROBLEM]

If I were you I would buy the luminition unit from club shop. It transformed the performance in my Herald. 

[Rocker box gasket]

First of all but from club shop to support our shop. Second you do not need any sealant on a rubber gasket. I fitted mine at least three years ago and no leaks

[Silicon hoses or not]

Thanks guys will visit the shop 

[Silicon hoses or not]

Do silicone hoses shine to much or should I have said look to shiny 

[Silicon hoses or not]

I intend  to keep my car as it was one of the last of the production line. It is completely standard and I want to keep it that way. I will visit the club shop and invest in a set of silicone hoses

 

Andrew

[Silicon hoses or not]

Hello guys and girls. It is time to renew my hoses on my 1360. Are silicon hoses worth the money.

[Door drain holes]

What car are we looking at Colin

[Oil change: can you identify this ?]

Out of curiosity did a new drain plug come in the filter box 

[Fitting new stainless exhaust]

Did you buy the exhaust from the club shop. The reason I ask I bought mine from the shop and all the fitting were in the kit so very simple to fit. Tell us more of the fittings from front to back. 
 

mine has a clamp on the bell housing then a rubber strap on the chassis at the back.

[Replacement Fuel Tank]

Have you tried TD fitchet 

[UJ greasing]

Hello. How do you grease UJs on my output shafts. I have just noticed that there are a blanked of grease nipple point on both the UJ but how do you get a grease nipple in there. Can you but long nipples for this and if so where can I get them from.

[Why have a heater pipe that runs through the manifold]

Are you saying it is there to warm up the inlet manifold so the air entering the engine is pre warmed. Sorry to be dense. 

[Why have a heater pipe that runs through the manifold]

Can I ask a stupid question. On my 13/60 why does a water pipe run to my heater matrix through the inlet or is it the exhaust manifold what is the purpose of this layout.
