Colin Lindsay Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I grew up with those driving about the local streets, along with Humber Pigs and Saracens. Very strange driving position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 According to "Wikki". The standard power plant was Rolls Royce?. "six cylinder 4.26 litre water-cooled Rolls Royce B.60 petrol engine." An "inlet over Exhaust" valve arangement too. Also Fitted to the Austin Champ. "jeep". AND, Wait for it, Vanwall, ran modified Alloy block B60`s putting out 200+hp in racing during the 50`s good enough to collect a constructors chamionship!. Aparently using Modified Norton "Manx" Heads!. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unkel Kunkel Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 VW Eos 2.0 FSI : Hadn’t used it for a few weeks....... Brakes fully stuck on! Not just binding, car totally Immovable - with a hard, rigid brake pedal. What to do?Can’t even move the b. thing an inch ! On - line forums full of dire stories of ABS Valves , pressure sensors, sticking servos, rusted internal parts of servos , electronic failures all sorts of things - all complicated and expensive. But .. Thank goodness for U tube ! Basically, the answer “slacken brake pedal pivot half a turn and lubricate” That sounded just far too easy and cheap.Things are never that simple ! - but decide , “Hey give it a go - it will cost nothing...” So, after a bit of a struggle getting to the bolt/ pivot ....half a turn, and “ let us spray..”with WD40... A wonderful surprise it worked - instantly! Apparently condensation/ damp ( these cars are certainly no stranger to that in the winter) rusts steel shims around brake pedal pivot and the bracket it fits in and it sticks ( i.e press down and stays down -very firmly ) So pleasing to have a simple, quick solution to a problem. ( apparently this It can apply to others in the VW family too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
