Re: 1990 Singlecab II

Working it like a dog. House clearing, made 3 tip runs yesterday then hauled what was left back to Reading from the New Forest. Locker boxes were excellent.

Oil pressure relief

Speak to Andrew at ‘The Campershack’, Arran, Scotland.

Have a chat over the phone.

Contact details on Google.

Personally I’d take the opportunity to go to 2.1L, you can transfer all the ancillaries over including the carb. & dizzy.
