Cheers for the info on the gearbox 'fettlers', as soon as get hold of a replacement off it goes :)

No, checked the driveshafts they seem to be behaving, I repacked them a couple of years ago. I was talking to a mechanic who said it could be a ball race collapsing. I need to find a decent gearbox so i can swap it over then i can have the fun of pulling it apart and seeing how all them gubbings...

Gearbox let me know if there any. Cheers

My current thoughts are the bearing case has collapsed, having dropped the gearbox oil and jacked it up and turn it over by hand in gear I feel there is ball case not behaving!

I know its weird but I've had sticking brakes and collapsed lines in the past but no the brakes were fine all running cool and free wheeling. I think I will fill it with fresh gearbox oil and look out for a spare gearbox - does anyone know Of a decent gearbox ?

Hi Guys, I was getting all excited about getting off this year so i had a shakedown yesterday and booted it up the A64, It started acting strange it seemed to loose power and feel tight then loosen off so my mind was racing. Then i had a puncture so i though it may have something to cause it...

Summers here? looking out my window i'm not so sure 😀 My van as yet hasn't turned a wheel this year 'BUT', I am determined to get some miles on it this year and see what i can break so what's your plans for some events this year?

Bonjour Oz, what is this Last orders event 'cos Id like to come down and see you too 'me old luv'. 😀

Good start to the weekend I was going to Dub-int-dales but my Alternator bearings packed up cheap Chinese rubbish no doubt, I dont think I got two thousand miles out of it anyway ordered another cheap Chinese alternator :( and noted my OG mechanical fuel pump is getting a bit worn the brass...

Did you push the HT caps firmly back on the plugs?

Masking tape can also be used as a release agent.

The original one hole headlight rims had a single drainage hole and both mine were nearside rims so on one of them the drainage hole was at the top, the chrome on one was a bit tired and didn't match. The repro ones don't have drainage holes I believe. Anyway I bit the bullet and bought a couple...

No worries my search continues for a single hole rim shame they are handed due to the drain hole

That would be great if you could have a look, on another note I don't suppose you know where I can get some (cost efficient :)) front discs for my 71 do you? Have a good weekend.
