Sorry I didn't look at the date, and I've just done mine, I must be going senile

Easy enough to take off and it's solid brass, the little grub screw holds the sleeve in place with the o ring on, boil in the pan or penetrating oil usually gets it moving

Hi all, I have a 2000 sc of 72 vintage, genuine 80 thou miles, stood since 95, then I acquired done loads of work, new pistons, rings, carb, all the usual ignition stuff, head gasket etc, engine runs really well, responsive, lift the carb pin revs rise slightly then drop, engine revs like a...

Hi I've just listed a pair of rears on fb if your still after them

Thanks Cork it is

I recently bought a newish front exhaust pipe for my 2000 auto, and discovered its for a manual as it goes under the auto sump and not round it, is it any use to anyone, I'm in Bradford, £20ono and pick up or arrange your own courier

Do you prefer Cork or something else cheers

I'm in the process of replacing the sump gasket on my auto box and I'm undecided which one to use, Cork or new materials, I also don't know whether to put a smidgin of sealant on which ever gasket I use, advice needed please

Seems to be leaking from the bolt area nearest the exhaust pipe at the corner of the sump, then wets the exhaust, been stood since 95, and it looks like a rubber one, the leak might have been there before

How did you get on with the updated gasket from class parts, I'm in the same boat, which one did you buy and has it leaked since, and finally what torque did you do the sump nuts and did you use any sealant, that's my next job thanks

There's one on ebay £3000

That was my next question, the boost ratio, I've found ang do a full rebuild kit, plus the air valve, no change out of £100 tho, might start with a new air valve first and see how I go on, don't know how you split it to get to the big diaphragm there's no circular clip on this

Thanks I've stripped that valve, can't see what it does, if you blow into the valve even when you've pushed it in still allows air in, anyway cleaned it put it back on the servo and the brakes returned to normal, wait and see, was going to buy a new one, being a 9" thought about powertune but...

Yes that's my intention, sourcing the bits as we speak
