Hi, my 1983 1.9 watercooled petrol T25 allegedly has automatic choke, not that I've noticed it. I've been informed by various friends that it is actuated by either one or two depressions of the accelerator prior to starting, can anyone confirm this for me?. At the moment regardless of how many press...

Re: heater motor replacement

Re: strange contraption in my fridge exhaust flue
Thanks Oldiebut goodie that's definitely the thing, i'll leave it in!. One more thing, the images you've helpfully attached seem to stress that it needs to be correctly positioned does that mean that I shouldn't have pulled it out, or is it just referring to it's height within the flue defined by th...
