Club 80-90 Forums

Has anyone used Castrol Transmax EP 80w (mineral) in their 4 speed gearbox and if so was it ok ? Not sure whether to go down the 80w90 semi synthetic route....

So thinking of removing the high top on my '83 T25......other than sourcing a used roof skin and welding in place, does anyone supply a flat low profile roof skin in GRP that could be fitted over the remaining stripped roof ? Don't really want to go down the pop top route.
Cheers

Anyone using a Powerspark 034 SVDA distributor on a 2.0 L petrol CU engine ? Wondering what timing figures you're using ?

What's the quality of the heat exchangers available like ? Are JK , Brickworks etc the same brand heat exchangers ?

The exhaust silencer/heat exchanger system on my air cooled 2L petrol CU is finally giving in to rust. The heat exchangers I will have to get from JK or similar but I was after advice on the silencer options. Standard box, stainless standard box or one of the quietpak systems ? Any advice greatly ap...

Does any one refurbish the CU distributer or is there a replacement? I seem to have too much play in mine and on idle the timing mark is very erratic....

need to get a set for my hi top holdsworth villa, what do people use and what are my options ??? cheers martin

found it ! thank you very much for posting that pic, it is very very small ! cheers !

cheers will get the fan guard off and have a good look at it tonight , thanks again

are my eyes failing or is the timing notch on the flywheel very very small ? having trouble finding it, any pointers greatly appreciated, cheers

another question which may help, if you upgrade from points to electronic ignition do you have to change the coil? if not then my points coil would be ok, does a higher resistance coil produce a weaker spark ??

measured it (disconnected) and it is well out of range in the brickwerks chart for an early coil and even the later ones,(mine should take the early din plug coil) the primary resistance is 3.5 ohms and secondary resistance is 7.8k ohms, the brickwerks site says .52-.76 ohms primary and 2.4k - 3.5k ...

will test the coil tonight and if wrong i can rectify with a resistor in line i guess rather than another new coil ??

after running problems i have replaced my OLD bosch coil,black body, with a blue beru zs 106 as supplied by local garage, the van is electronic ignition and have now seen the same coil on websites saying for use ONLY with points ignition, the van runs great with it though......but will it damage it ...

1983 holdsworth villa 2 litre air cooled petrol....drove from london to cromer at weekend, stopped at campsite signed in, came out van wouldn't start, distributer cap was changed last year and wasn't worn,looked like weak spark so changed ignition coil ( had new spare) fired up, parked up and 5 days...
