Ok, I'll have at it with a scotch pad. I don't think it is damaged, just has some well stuck grot. Cheers

Right.. got it out by getting a screwdriver between the band and the case and then bending the seal inward until there was something to get pliers on. Problem now is that the seal has left some crud and corrosion on the wall of the face where it seals. It feels slightly rough to touch. Can I clean t...

I'm changing my crank pulley oil seal to fix a leak. I've successfully got the pulley off, but the seal itself is a right ball ache. I've tried pulling, digging and prying but I'm scared I'm going to damage something. The inner band of orange rubber and a spring have come out, but the outer metal ba...

I've noticed a mysterious clonking/knocking noise that seems to only happen after I've been driving for quite a while and then go slowly due to traffic/campsite etc. Sat in the drivers seat, it's like it's coming from the wheel underneath me and sounds a bit like a nut loose in the hub cap that clon...

Had a chat with G&L, they aren't able to supply the springs. They're not a part that's ever been available separately, apparently it was once possible to get a pump refurb kit with one, but not any more. He was very helpful though and happy to give advice. Luckily, Gasure Steve has has come up t...

Cheers, ill drop them an email.

Does anyone know where to get a new spring for a 2E3 accelerator pump? Mine seems to have gone walkies.

Cheers,

I expect so, its all part of the same hydraulic system.

I had my tank off for several weeks, lying safe under the van while I sorted out some brake pipe issues. Now ive reassembled everything, its started stalling when pulling off from junctions. Im thinking one explanation might be that condensation could have gathered in the tank during the cold weathe...

brill, thanks.

Cant seem to find an answer to this for some reason... what type of flare should be used on new brake pipes? I.e sae/din double/single. Im replacing the pipes between the flexis and the junction.

Any chance of forwarding me the info? Far too many vans going missing these days

There are a couple of holes in my wheel arches for applying cavity wax into the sills and pillars, which were originally filled with various plastic plugs and stoppers. Some of these are missing and others have become warped and no longer work, does anyone know a supply of new ones, or an alternativ...

Thinning to about single cream consistency at the moment, possibly slightly thinner. Its not a disaster, just slow going, persistence is probably the main factor. I think I'm going to do some experimenting with loading and thinning before the next bit, as I'm also getting a lot of bubbles that must ...

Has anyone had problems with opacity? I'm painting on Bambus yellow, matched by tools-paint.com and after two coats I can still very clearly see where i've vactaned underneath. Am I thinning too much?
