Had a few hours on the old girl this morning, got the knackered ignition barrel out atlast, and new one fitted, bled brakes and there is no pressure at all on the pedal, just straight down and back. Think the shoes are needing adjustment, previous chap said he put new shoes on, so guessing thats all he did... Was just put then on.. Water pump seems to be not working so will be taking radiator out and replacing the pump and flushing the system.

Got to agree, im all for a bit of fun so feel free haha... But yes everyone so far has been more than helpful. Clutch still same but ive not had proper look or the time to. The peddle is fine down and return are smooth. The clutch itself is slow on return which might be a number of things unfortunate, will bleed again for longer incase of air in system.

Well I shall supply questions and look forward to the potential answers

Cheers. Will take a look later on today.

Which pipe.. Sorry for potential stupid question.

Been able to drive it through fields, and ot selects all gears, second is a little crunchy. Bite is good when it comes. So it could be the bearing might see if i cant put it over my mates pit. Bled brakes today but the peddle didn't firm up. As its all shared could the two issue's be linked!

Brand-new slave on it and seemed to bleed okay? Could there be issues with spring where it enters the clutch itself?

Couple more photos Wheels repainted Engine bay, little dirty Bodywork, not too shabby

The pedal returns fine... Its the shaft into sc that doesnt.

On my 61 plate the Bluetooth and eco has stopped working, eco light is lit on the button but never activates when stopped, and the bluetooth doesn't switch to when selecting the button on stereo unit. I checked the fuse is the rear box a while back, no issue with it and the Bluetooth and eco worked for a week after removing and reconnecting the fuse. Any one had a similar issue? Cheers Adam

Thanks for this, sounds like my Saturday will be checking this and bleeding brakes.

Sounds like you talk from Experience, I am hoping a bleed and re align the shoes is the issue, previous owner has replaced shoes, thinking may not of set them up right. or bled them.. The clutch is and odd one, Bled the SC and it was fine, the res has stayed full of Dot so that's good. but when releasing the peddle the return into the SC is unbelievably slow. I have a ignition barrel that the key is I think snapped inside or the barrel is worn, so tried to remove this to fit a new one but cannot release the sprung ball at the moment.. so the drill might come out. Thanks for the welcomes. hoping to get her tidied up to use her, then at somepoint I will get her the same colour inside and out. Fire brigade red inside at the moment...

Plan is to get her running right, and eventually tidy her right up. But it eont be an over night job. Only drove on farm, so not out on roads, not sure that would be a clever idea, stuck to the fields.

Morning all, picked up a 67 2a a few weeks back so thought id pop in as im sure I will be asking for advice as I start the journey of ownership. It is a solid example with a good running engine, juat the brakes and clutch seem a little iffy. Clutch peddle is all fine movement wise, but the return into the slave fro. Gear box is slow at best. Brakes just need a bleed and adjustment to the shoes I think. Here is a pic from yesterday when out feeding Cheers Adam
