I am trying to remove the gearbox input shaft on a 5 speed diesel gear box, to have the end repaired I have removed the bell housing and a small circlip at the bottom of the shaft, but not sure what else needs to be done to remove the shaft

The pierburg carburettor on my 86 camper van has done 175k miles and appears to be worn out I am getting approx 8m to gallon out of it. So I want to replace it with a second hand one from a breakers yard. Does anybody know what will fit

Thanks once again

If anybody can let me know I would be very grateful. There seems to be 2 loose wires beneath the thermostat housing but not sure if these are the right...

Hi
Thanks for the info

I am trying to rebuild a 1.9 water cooled engine over the christmas holidays but I have now found one of the middle piston rings is broken. Can anybody tell me where to buy them or alternatively does anybody have them that I could buy. Any help would be much appreciated.
