Job still not completed, twisted my back. Where can i get a replacement hose from the brake and clutch reservoir that feeds down to the clutch master cylinder and what are the dimension please?

Thanks, Luckily my Neighbour is a Mechanic who will help me or do it for me next week.

Hi David, what I can see the cylinder is covered in brake fluid, can hardly put one hand up to check, considering taking steering wheel off for better access due to shoulder room or is that overkill. Seen them videos also, makes it look easier than what i am experiencing.

Thanks David, looking on you tube, one shows it from a L/H drive where access looks easier, whereas mine is R/H where access is blocked by the centre gubbins, hope it is the clutch master cylinder, also the braided feed pipe looks a tight fit, how difficukt is this to undo. When replacing I read in ...

Have noticed for some time a gradual loss of fluid in the brake and clutch cylinder reservoir. Most recently the footwell below was soaked in fluid. I am thinking that it is the clutch master cylinder having looked at it as best I can as access is limited. Ordered a replacement part. The removal loo...

Agreed, I need to get a partial rebuild kit, gaskets etc, just thinking if it would get me going enough to get out of trouble and traffic to a layby etc. I am wondering if trying this would maybe clear any blockage due to compression, suction and vaccum creation as a result of the introduction of th...

Last time I broke down, the RAC got me going by cleaning the carb at the float chamber level. Jets etc. If it were to happen again would spraying easy start directly into the Carb and quickly starting engine maybe kick start engine into life and get me moving.

They normally go where plastic meets rubber, at front for example between plastic pipe and rubber hose going into Radiator, the metal insert inside the plastic pipes (see image example)rusts there and causes a leak, if none visible you maybe ok. Mine have been leaking there for years, I just keep an...

Hope it helps.

Mixture screw location depends on what type of carb you have, if doing it yourself you need a tester, have you checked the rubber pipe from crankase tower to carb, they sometimes get gunged up or collapse. Also taking the van for a good run prior to MOT is also suggested.

why do you think youneed to rebuild it? Contents is usualy just seals and the acceleration pump ( which there are two types and one is not in most kits ). Hi, I have had problems to do with the carb which i mentioned in a post last year. The last incident was on the A3, driving along the van coughe...

Is it by chance your ecelerator sticking not the carb? Having a bit of an issue with mine at moment and need to lubricate conduit. :?: Thanks, I dont think its the Accelerator cable but will have a look, all pointers and advice points to the Carb, viewed James Akers video on it which are great, jus...
