Even an 2.1 MV low compression was worth the swap from DG, I have all the parts to build a DJ and will get around to it sometime for my trials car but wouldn't feel the need for extra speed in the camper, I must be getting old. Mv is running on DG carb, distributor and cooling system and has now don...

Have had a similar issue with a new chinesium starter, the solenoid appears to need a higher current, replacement ignition switch made no difference, but would start readily when bridging the starter main cable to the solenoid connection, have installed a relay in the engine compartment to take the ...

 Good news, thank you for updating, may look at mine now as it let me down in the summer and I was thinking of a compressor upgrade but they are smaller

You may need to undo the inner cv joint to allow the arm to drop enough for the spring to come off the turrets, my nearside was easy, drivers side needed the cv undone.

Most camper converters for the last 40 years + have used 'Silent Gliss'  top fix aluminium camper/boat curtain track, I even remember these when growing up in a 57 Canterbury Pit splittie :ok and I have them in my T25 around the screen, continuous length from the passenger B post to the corner of th...

There was a tread on here Re upgrading wiring with relays to remove the load on the headlight switch and running a heavier duty supply wire from the battery to supply the power side of the relays, but I can't remember when. I have done this on mine and use the 'Osram Nightbreaker' bulbs, although I ...

Just a thought but if you remove the rockers then no air is drawn in to compress, did you check other cylinders with rockers off or only number 3? Compression test should be done with throttle wide open to charge cylinders, most likely tappet setting on your initial test. Where is the fingers crosse...
