I'd be changing the whole set of leads out The connector at the spark plug is 1k on its own, the total resistance should be 6K ohm +/- 1400 ohm, the lead itself has no resistance, so there was a resistor built in the cap that plugs into the dissy the king lead should have a resistance of 2k ohm +/- ...

bet that engine has been stood a good while out of the vehicle and / or drained down of most of the coolant

A. 1. Yes the push rods can wear and the diaphragm in the pump fail, though normally you'd only experience the effects of a worn rod at higher revs, provided the carb float chamber isn't contaminated or empty - I had an issue with water in the fuel once which meant that the float chamber was contami...

probably not, you just need the small paper in see through plastic can type one which are only a few £ the metal can fine filter is making the fuel clean enough for the injectors and goes after the pump which is producing 3 and bit bar of fuel pressure all the time, the lift pump is rev dependant an...

you are welcome

vapour cannister 052 127 177 C as fitted on Syncro 1.9, and some other vehicles with 2E variant carbs, also seen on one of the aftermarket carbs that is available recently - can't remember who had it there was thread a few months ago which had it in so either it's a Syncro or someone has fitted the ...

Fitted a new plug although it's slightly different as the original part isn't available. But I found a plug that fits with a magnet, the magnet is just a bit smaller

available new from Vantopia and Weddle and elsewhere

I have a bunch of used ones

they are M7 x 1.25 x 13mm part number N 090 173 3 - available from Weddle and Vantopia

me I just re-tap the case to M7 x 1.0, and use nice 16mm long hex head set screws with an extra washer on top of the spring steel retaining plate - you effectively lose 20% of the threads re-tapping at 1.0mm pitch

but maybe like this now - as you can see cinched in place and not serviceable



if you right click and open pic in another tab it is zoomable

Is it possible that the oil pressure relief valve has failed or has debris stuck in the valve seat, preventing it from sealing? This could allow the oil gallery to drain back into the sump when not running. Good evening, where is this relief valve located? On top of the strainer? according to Googl...

Ian, indeed oprv is in the pump according to Google I was wondering how drain down was prevented in the diesel I only really know WBX so where / if / there was one in the pump or pickup as there isn't one shown on the parts catalogue - it is in the lower, ie the T3 diesel, housing where the actual p...

some of our vans were fitted with dual tone horns as standard - two frequencies make for better audibility, so a proper 2 tone can't be MOT fail

Ian the OP has the correct set up, pump to suit the engine with the T3 diesel pump pickup fitted - the issue it is draining down when stood so pump is not staying primed Spoke to Baxter who suggests pump body isn't fully bolted to block because of the swap over, the pumps use different length bolts,...

but the petrol engines have a geared drive to the pump off the aux shaft/disi whereas the JX pump is driven I think by the end of the vacuum pump which is driven by the gear on the aux shaft
2E and AGG use same pump
