I was shocked myself.

In the past week I have spotted a burgundy mk3, a white 1.6 laser, a white 2.0s, and a mineral blue laser, all in St Helens. Any owners on here?

After a year or so off the road the X pack has been treated to a reconditioned engine, new clutch and all new brakes and steering. All seems well, I have done about 200 miles in it over the last couple of days and it seems happy to be back on the road. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m295/SpikeCa...

Tested the alternator today, battery reads 13.18v when off, and 14.54 with the car running, although revving the engine over 2000 rpm made no difference, 14.54v constantly.

could it be that the connector the wires go into just before the bulbs needs a clean/wires pushing back into it a little. I had the same problem a week ago and that was the cause for mine.

Update: I put the battery on charge this morning and it took 15 mins to fully charge. Took the starter off and with a wire brush, cleaned around where the starter mates to the engine, all the starter bolts and the earth connections and bolts, tightened everything up and started first time every time...

Need another top for my 32/36 webber ASAP please.

damn thing is still leaking somewhat. Looks like it will be a new carb or body at least for me... many expletives!

Got some PTFE tape on the nut today and screwed it back into the carb, tried it and fuel was still pissing everywhere.

Where the hell was Maiden?

Pilkingtons eh? I live very close to there and know someone who works there, might see if I can wangle my way in lol

Found the clip today, it ended up in the passenger footwell. At least I think it is the right clip, it seems to work anyway.

I'll give him a call tomorrow, might see i I can find the clip first as it must have been on earlier today

Fuel keeps leaking from the brass nut at the front of the carb, I can't tighten the nut anymore as I don't want to damage it. Am I in need of a new one ?
