Hi and welcome :D By now you are probably feeling like there is so much info you dont know what to do next? :shock: Put kettle on, chill and read. Copy and paste info you find and like into a word document and save it. When you get your head around things, you can filter it and retain the info you w...

Just in case.... At the bottom of the backplate, there is a locating bracket for the brake shoe bottoms. This bracket has a dowel pin that passes through the backplate into another thingy.... It can be difficult if rusty. Suggest copious amounts of WD40 then copious amounts of tea or coffee whilst i...

Hi chap, I have a couple you could borrow, would get you out of a fix short term, but cannot deliver. You got PM

Heard of Lampter, where is that???

Myk.

Yeah ok!

Any clearer?

Hi guys,
Has anyone replaced one of these recently? Just wondering how much of a 'mare it is to do? Not an urgent task but would like to plan ahead

Ta VWCF, will give it a play when I get it back from MOT fixing (welding). Will try bleeding (again) both brake and clutch systems, am I missing something obvious? It was fine prior to brake pad/shoe/pipe changes, and I did bleed both systems 3 times (still soft though, needs doing again). Any point...

Meggles thanks for that, its the one thing I aint tried yet. Update: Cleaned all earths, harness to steering wheel, harness to fuse box, harness to inst panel. Replaced relay (no change), replaced hazard switch (no change), wiggled everything I could wiggle :wink: Symptoms as before, but noticed tha...

1.6 TD 1986 Westie LHD. Has a towbar repeater light fitted (which works fine) in addition to normal dashboard one. Symptoms: Inst cluster removed/refitted, all working previously. Hazard lights work fine, as does repeater. indicators work, repeater does not. Repeater bulb checked ok. Since then (yes...

Guys hi, Recently replaced brake system, pads, shoes, pipes etc and bled it inc clutch. Awfull smell whilst driving, I suspect brake linings but wheels feel cold to touch. Wondered if clutch could be 'out' causing friction lining to burn? Could this have been affected by brake bleeding? Other option...

Cant help directly, but suggest you try the brickyard site, lots of good gen on there, also brickyard.

You could also try a 'search' on here or check the wiki.

Best of luck, Myk.

Kev,
Ta for the reply.

Q? Will that affect 'engine tuning' (will I need to have the donk 'set up' again to make up for [presumed] lack of back pressure?)

Q? Should it be ok with emmisions test?

Thanks chaps,

Myk.

:shock: Bugger! Well done you two, and if you happen to know the lottery numbers for this coming draw..... :) Need a bit of help here guys please, can anyone suggest a replacement that will be compatable (ie, a UK version that will work with the engine) or do I need to obtain like for like? Thanks c...

Hmmmn, thats a good one! :? I have a 1.6TD Westie 1986 (late). It has the bottom half of a JP engine and the top half of something else. It has a turbo. It also has an exhaust that I cannot recognise??? Between the backbox and the turbo is what should be a straight pipe (according to all the pics I ...
