Re: 1990 Singlecab II

Speedo is 20mph fast. I can’t get my head around whether the speedo spring is too tight or too loose; any experience of this out there? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221112/04c8e89067cef21f6678882f3740bacd.jpg Logic suggests tighten the spring to add resistance. Is (was) that 20mph fast at all...

Re: Replacement engine down south

Have you considered having your engine rebuilt? With hindsight I wish I had used Andrew at campershack. Hes a member on here and 100% trustworthy. Thanks for the endorsement Rob, but I think he's diesel. If so, AWEngineering at Darwen would be my recommendation. Sent from my moto g(30) using Tapata...

Re: Thermostat housing

The top cover with the bleed valve appears to be bolted to the housing using four bolts, three of which can be undone from the top. The fourth however appears to require undoing from under the vehicle as there’s just the thread of the bolt showing. Is this correct? No. It should be four M6 bolts pu...

Re: Oil pressure switch

Both switches shouldn't be closed with engine off, one is normally closed (blue, between pushrod tubes) and the other normally open (closes under pressure, either 0.9 or 1.8 bar, depending on stuff). Start engine, pressure opens blue switch, light goes out. Rev engine, if white/grey switch closes be...

Re: Fuel explosion in carb

Could be as simple as the carbs needing balancing. Always the starting point for any running or performance issues.

Re: Water in oil sump.

Cheers for the shout outs.
I'm afraid it sounds like a rebuild job, Gav. I can do it, but you'll need someone to take the engine out and refit it for you once done. Give me a call if you're needing help/advice.
