  1. Squirt phosphoric acid into the hole. Acids will attack the zinc and dissolve it away.
  2. From what I understand ( and some vendors actually tell you to do this ) is mark it as not inspected and sign for it. Quite where you are supposed to mark it I don't know. Tim
  3. First thing that occurred to me is a sticky cam follower holding a valve open. Tim
  4. Turn your 90 into a true 4x4 with an engine for each wheel???
  5. Agree with Ally V8, I seem to remember reading about aero engines like like around the time of WW1. WRT the eccentroc cam drive, our kitchen mixer works like that only the other way around ( concentric motor with wibbly output ) ( hope that is not too technical :-) ) Tim
  6. For what it is worth I found the same with the vent seals on my series 3. However the eventually compress/reshape so that they do seal correctly and the vents shut flush. Regards Tim
  7. Having tried both I would highly recommend using the x-eng solution. It is easier to fit and does not leak so much. Regards Tim
  8. I cant remember for sure: I think they are bearmach ( the latest ones anyway, I have used various brands ).
  9. Hello @discomikey Yes I always replace the seals when I replace the bearings. @Les I remember the tracks being tight so I had to drift them in. I seem to remember having to drift the race on to the stub axle, but I can't remember for certain. I have been wondering whether it is worth using loctite in the locking nuts as well as using the tab washer, as I think that should help prevent the nuts from moving. I think the tab washer ( between the two locking nuts on the stub axle ) tends to be a bit hit and miss as to whether it immobilises the nuts. Regards Tim
  10. Hello all I have a recurrent problem on my LWB safari; the drivers side front wheel bearing keeps needing adjusting. On the left side I have only needed to replace the bearing once and adjust it once in 23 years. However the drivers side I need to tighten it frequently. It has always been like this ever since I have had the car, regardless of what type of bearings I have used ( I have replaced them several times ). Each time they are well greased and set up as per the manual. Is this a known problem with series vehicles? BTW it is a 1976/7 model Regards Tim
  11. Amaing. Must feel like 'did I just dream that', then you wake up and it is true :-). Congratulations. Tim
  12. Just hope you haven't started the year the way you mean to go on
  13. Speaking from the depths of my ignorance, why is this? I always assumed that it would not make any difference as long as there is airflow throught the rad. Regards Tim
  14. Many years ago I used Holts Dampseal ( I think it was ) to seal the hood on a Citroen Dyane. It worked very well as it applies a thin layer of plastic. Tim
