Nice of you. I found one Ebay a couple of years ago for a bargain £30 after the spade snapped off the old one. Its the old one I want to get rebuilt just in case

Any one know the going rate for a strter motor rebuild. Was goint to do my own but couldnt even get the first bolt off

I hope it all goes smoothly now. These gearboxws are a PITA if they go wrong but in the City they are so much more pleasant to drive.

Is it the right part? They've got a few for sale. Wonder if its worth stashing

Is Peckham inside ULEZ?

Are you in Kennington ?

Didn't you rebuild your own box Rick?

Hmm, had my fair share of autobox problems in the past. With me, the first sign of major problems was reverse gear.

They don't seem to last. Toying up on whether to go for an electric instead.

I was baffled because I could get petrol to the carb sucking on the hose but couldn't get it through the pump sucking on te out hose but when I blocked the inlet I could get a vacuum sucking on the outlet.

Thanks. I'll have another look at it, had a brief look and switched it on and off a few times. Changed it about 2 years ago. I had noticed that the petrol drains back to the tank inside a couple of days and can be a pain to get back to the carb but normally not a problem at speed

Running perfectly on LPG but just dies when I try to switch over even at 70mph. Pump and rod have done about 5000 miles so shouldn't be that. What would you advise I try first?

Keep your receipt somewhere handy so you can get an exchange under warranty,

Cheers. I'll give it a go
