Time has come for a new recon engine. Lots of things wrong with my present 2litre CU engine that was a recon unit 26 years ago. I am looking for a garage who will do this, near to me as not driveable at present. Location Kidderminster Worcestershire.

Just to add to my wows, put it all back together and have a brown wire with female  spade on loom next to distributer where does it go?

I am in middle of lymphoma treatment and getting old nearly 72. Havnt got the energy to pull and rebuild engine a list of not goods on the engine now. A head swop is still a thing that I can manage and I do have a brand new one already. Problems: 1.stud thats snapped between cylinders 3 & 4 roug...

Thats it...... had to remove cylinder head and one of the studs sheared off alongside the piston  barrel. I still dont know if my problem would have  been solved with a new cylinder head, but now im screwed. The head stud will be almost impossible to extract without removing barrel. So options?  New...

Im pulling my hairout.  2LT cu Aircooled  on lpg or petrol, new plugs and leads and tried old leads and plus as well. Found a manifold leak but fixed that with new gasket its still not firing on LH bank of cylinders. On tickover thats lumpy pulled ht leads of each plug to see the  difference, Cyl 1 ...

Well I fitted supposedly E10 fuel hoses to the Aircooled about a year ago, guess what, coming back from Gower today switched onto petrol cuz the LPG had run out and lorries tooting me and huge petrol smell. pulled over and pipes all crackedup and pouring out on engine side of electric fuel pump!!!!!...

It didnt fail but was just sticky and looked really bad. I think it was something around £600  but that was some years ago probably 15years ish

Aidan, the switch being an early level light switch appears to be all working, well at least the leds work in the correct order, Its strange, it was working perfectly and went to fill tank (69P/L) about 8 miles from where I live, stopped filled tank and tried to start and nothing. Swiched back to pe...

My LPG ws installed hundreds of years ago by thr late great Steve Shaw Gasure.  It stopped running today, and it appears that the shutoff solonoid on the vapouriser isnt being energised. The solonoid is fine and works perfectly but no power to it.  I have temp wired it so it works, but could do with...

Yep im afraid its age degredation. I had the very same thing happen to our devon some years ago. Cant be fixed, I had a new roof bellows made by a guy who I dont think is around now cant remember the name but will have a think. He was in Upton on Severn did upholstery mostly but did a brilliant job.

I am at the same point keep killing lead acid batteries and looking at LIFPo4 100ah battery and b to b setup. Whats the thoughts on a 20amp b to b for a standard cu engine output? What about a 20amp setup at about £145 from ebay I use a fold up solar panel when parked up.
Or a victron 20amp

Came to do a service and found number 2 spark plug wont come out, I have a suspition in went in crossed thread when I installed it a couple of years ago!     Presuming I can force it out, do these reverse taps you can buy off ebay work? I dont want to have to remove cylinder head to do the job if I ...

Thanks guys for all the advise. I HAVE A WORKING FUEL GUAGE!!! The answer was the 10v voltage stabiliser had gone, not only that but the circuit board where it attaches had disintigrated!  The answer was to clamp the new voltage stabiliser into place, upside down as per Brickies advice as its a T4 u...
