ball joints will turn with a mucky thread unless the taper is locked into the stub axle. I did see a thread on here some time ago berating the quality of replacement joints so hearsay would indicate best to keep the original unless knocking or perished boot

how about a block of wood between the top of wishbone and the bottom of the seat box then jack from below to ensure compression on the taper gather than gravity

When this happened on mine it was the head gasket letting by and over pressure in the system, worth having a sniff test done at your local garage for combustion gasses in the coolant

Thank you for your help, the pin had come out and was in the cover of the arm rest, retensioned pin a little by wedging it open with a screwdriver and twisting and it is now fitted firmly :ok Did notice a slight exhaust blow when moving away from the fence , feared rthe worst when found the top bolt...

I had trouble with mine after new slave cylinders and shoes, some slave cylinders even ATE (Chinese) do not have an internal spring and retract away from the shoes when you take your foot off the brake pedal this means that when you next press the pedal the first pedal press becomes lost motion to t...

thanks will check later

Thank you Shepster, panic over, was aware of the roll pin but it hadn't occurred to me that it may have come out, now I wonder where it has gone, parked against fence so will look when rain stops

Good morning to all, does anyone have an exploded image or pictures of the inside mechanism of a Caravelle armrest, mine has developed brewers droop suddenly.

Do any of you helpful people know the ohms range for the tank sender 251 919 051 E with my multimeter on 200 ohm range I am getting infinity at lowest movement then just off there 184 ohms (reserve) and 52 at the highest ...

Hi Stu, I have a micrometer big enough if you are passing, I even have coffee and cake

Hi Stu, watching with interest, I thought that the brake and clutch pedal switches were a safety requirement to switch off the cc ecu, my Audi cc certainly works that way

The 'Ultimate engineering' conversion that I have on mine has an ABS ring fitted to the gearbox end cv joint which sends pulse to the  orange box, this gives complete and seamless speed regulated variable assistance, cannot fault it in any way

When doing the plumbing on the buggy engine I used copper pipe and 'yorkshire' soldered joints these have a moulding for the solder and work well as a 'barb' to improve the copper to rubber joint

If it drove ok before the engine swap I would suspect a linkage issue due to unsupported gearbox, or maybe collapsed spigot bearing preventing correct clutch operation
