  1. Yesterday i took the air filter out and gave it a quick clean off
  2. As you can see, put nice shiney new lenses om but the previous owner properly painted over the assemblys and they are shot 😩
  3. Hoping your local isn't my local haha..
  4. Found a mate with a capstan he no longer uses, so hoping to buy and fit to mine. Seeing as the holes are there..
  5. Anyone know where i can get the side, indicater and rear light assembly's from that are not britpart.....
  6. New door seals fitted and doors adjustes to allow the to shut, one bulk head screw on the top hinge was rusted solid, 25 minutes with the impact driver got it out, all new bolts on order for all hinges. New door tops ready for painting then to be fitted. And have new light lens kit on the way, as all plastics are clouded and tired.
  7. This was the issue with the clutch, a perished/collapsed flexi hose. Cheapest fix I will ever have.
  8. Oem are available and will be bought
  9. Spoke to the supplier and they will take them back and refund full Amount. As not fit for purpose Will then get the OEM ones and hopefully they will fit.
  10. Fitted door seals on my series 2a and now have to force the doors shut. Rubber is unbelievably solid
  11. There is a thread?? 😆
  12. Oem are 100£ a door I think. So might have to take off and send back and hope they swap and refund the crappart seals.
  13. Not at all lol, I didn't know it was until it turned up... Fitted and its solid. Really mad to try and close the doors.
  14. Hmmm wasn't expecting oem vs say britpart to be much different when it comes to rubber hardness?
  15. So last weekend I set about fitting new door seals, got both doors off and the old perished seals off, got the new ones fitted doors back on and then could i shut them, jeez it was like id fitted solid steel seals. I had to put all of my weight and more into it. Now concerned that opening the doors this weekend to do nlre work means I'll be struggling to shut them again. Any tricks to soften the rubber up...
  16. Check the flexi hose that goes between the cylinders. My clutch wouldn't return correctly, it would take 10 seconds or more, the flexi pipe had corroded and fallen apart inside itself your leg has the strength to force the fluid through but clutch doesn't on way back up
  17. So re seating and putting a bit of well seal on has worked but i am going to get new gaskets and seals i think. Might aswell replace it all with new then i know it should all be good
  18. Got the degreaser out and gave the engine bay a bit of a clean, I've replaced the heater fan in the cab as the old one was warped and catching, also I thought the roof was rattling around the tailgate so checked it, found the two rear bolts were loose and no middle bolts or front bolts around the base where it meets the body of the car. All bolts tightened or added so now not rattling there. Unfortunately the chap who helped do the brake master cylinder bent the metal mud guard and its actually ripped the inner wing which now has two holes where the bolts should be to hold it on, sothe mud guard is now off, and to be fair it neede replacing, two big holes in it.
  19. Cheers, took the bolt off to check it today, not looking great so will replace, put it back on with a little bit of well seal just to stop the majority of oil escaping
  20. Any ideas why / how oil would be getting out of this, looks like its being pushed out when the truck is running..
  21. After a long time of the truck sitting in the lock up, ive finally had chance to start on it again, the clutch issue is one i cant figure out so it has gone to a mates garage for them to diagnose and fix, the cold weather last week has meant the manifold to down lipe gasket has given up, that may have been on its way out and account for the missfire. Hoping to get it back and then start working on all the silly little bits that need doing
  22. Hadnt seen this update, cheers for the info, have had a few weeks of work getting in the way of play. So the series has been tucked up. Need to show it some love soon.
  23. Exactly my thoughts when I came to do it. £20 isnt anything in the grand scheme of things, its a sheet of paper that if plain us worthless. My next question is how to lean out the weber carb. The truck is running really rich. Im thinking as I don't know which way to turn the screw, I will just fire it up, turn one way and see if it gets worse or splutters...
