That sounds like the BW35 inhibitor switch in ref to the locknut. He's asking about the BW66 which is a later version of the BW65 fitted to later P6bs and more commonly found in the SD1 and possibly XJ6. Having looked on the Rimmer's site for the BW66 inhibitor switch it doesn't have the spade...

Yes, to clarify, the valves on No1 will be closed and No6 valves will be one closing and the other opening. Termed 'on the rock' which is easier to see as you go over TDC. Colin

It may be a broken spring, is it spring loaded in one direction?

When you remove the dist make a note of where the rotor arm was pointing before and after removal, then look in the hole and see the orientation of the pump shaft and remember it. Then do the drill bit. Afterwards turn the pump shaft back to its prior orientation, then the rotor arm to its...

The same from me, pack the pump with vaseline and use a drill.

What made you measure it?

It doesn't matter because pressurised brake fluid gets between the two seals and holds it in place and doesn't let it function properly.

Tuning an engine makes it more efficient. It would be interesting if you notice any change in fuel consumption, either actual or perceived. Although I realise it's early days, and it may take a little while to resist the use of the power increase. Colin

Ahh, there's a question for debate. Do you have it at the top or the bottom?...discuss.

Cobraboy is still waiting to sell his fan!

I wonder if this thread could be blown any further adrift from @cobraboy s sales thread for, ironically, a fan blade. GLWTS. Colin

All without removing the decker panel! Have you thought about taking up Gynaecology? :D

That was the practical benefit of it, whether it was deliberate...who knows?

Most of Europe have a legal requirement to carry a warning triangle, Sweden being one of them.

Ford wheel studs are the same thread so can give you a larger source of supply. Yes, there are plenty on Ebay.

Having just gone out and looked at mine, The wire is a round ring like a circlip which holds the grommit out against the base unit hole. After removing the filler neck, remove the wire circlip which is in the bottom internal convolution which will then allow you to pull out the grommit. It may...

It would be at least something if they tidied up their qualifying periods for MOT and road tax exemptions. Before anyone says anything, I know it still needs tax, but it's zero rated. MOT is 40 yr anniversary from first registration, however tax is from April the following year. I've just...

Yes, Two countries separated by a common language.

My mistake it may not be lower, but I've had the fixing stud leak. Just something to check. Have a couple of pics to show its location, there's usually sealant of some sort under the top nut. - Although the right side, this shows how far forward it is (angled brace on right out of shot)...

The other thing to check is that the forward fixing stud for the decker panel in not letting water past, because that is lower than the filler hole in the base unit.

Make sure you get good fuel hose (cohline) from a reputable source (ie. not off ebay, too much counterfeit stuff about). You need J30 R9/10 spec (R9 for external, R10 for internal or submerged). I get mine from - Classic Microcars / AJL Electronics Gloucester Get the stainless hose clips...

If there's a vacuum in the pipe, although not a true vacuum which depends on throttle position. Then it's going 1 bar max, subject to altitude. ;)

Judging by the engraved 'T' in a circle, are they aftermarket gears?
