I have one and used one in the past. Dubious about the mpg claims. It is effective in letting you see the lean or rich condition of individual cylinders. It would simply confirm what my ears and timing light/rpm guage are telling me.

Fun but not conclusive.

Hard standing is a good start as it will keep it out of the damp ground. Do you have a location in the lee of a building? So it isn't bearing the brunt of the weather? If you could build a lean to carport that would help. There are some fairly substantial self erect canopies too I had my bus under a...

I recently fitted Falken AT3WA; very nice road manners, not noisy, full M&S rating and snowflake, so all year round use - 1/2 the price of BFG and readily available online I am running 215/75/15 on Mefro rims on a Syncro fyi Remind me of your engine, gearbox combo if you would. Power steering? ...

I suspect you'd be better off with 2nd hand factory fit sliders that are designed to fit. Less cost than JKs offerings as well.

I may well have a pair of clear glass ones in the parts stash.

Don't forget the access and drain holes in the inner sills if they are still there

Rule number one of welding club.....

Disconnect the battery....

https://i.imgur.com/6j3WYdh.jpg This is an image of the inner sill above the jacking point in the corner with the cross member. A favourite place for mud to sit and cause corrosion. This is actually a very solid bus but it had still rotted there. Have a bit of a poke here, you might find it's a bit...

https://i.imgur.com/5Ym5JeR.png Here is another image I stole from online. With the rear quarter panel removed, showing the sloping support piece. Note the Peepy hole at the rear on the left and the jacking point at the bottom of the image. Cut your panel out and this is the area you will see. Have...

The 1/4 panel interior can be viewed from inside the bus anyway once the interior panel is out of the ...

https://i.imgur.com/RpbZGMz.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wiiVoWp.jpg Before you go cutting into your quarter panel. Remove your rear wheel and look for the two blanking plugs that seal these holes. Then you can look into the quarter panel and also the inner sill above the jacking point. Use a boroscope ...

Usual suspects are valve timing or too lean a fuel mixture. Start with a bottoms up service. Check your ignition timing, valve clearances, mixture on that carb and you may have a blocked jet in that carb meaning a weak mixture.

I believe 205/70r14 were the factory for on Carat alloys.

Plenty of known brands here

As Mocki says a 195r14 will do no harm either ..

Was there uneven wear in your pads or corrosion on your disc? Often the worst corrosion is on the back side. The sliding pins should move freely. Pull them out and look for corrosion on the pins. They are a wear item and may need replaced. Clean out their locating bores as well and see if you can te...

Honestly, it depends what has happened inside no3. Cylinder. You'll know when you take the head off.

If it's holed the piston or introduced pieces down into the sump, then that would be a worse case scenario.
