  1. If you are unsure just simply ring the test station where you are going for the Iva and ask to speak to one of the inspectors. They will happy give you the answer with the added bonus of knowing it’s from them who are actually the people that make the decision. 

  2. I had a plate stamped by a friend and work and welded it myself. Never had it inspected by a garage or anything signed off. The Iva tester looked at it check the digits were correct and it was welded all the war around not just spot welded and was happy. That was on 2018. 

  3. As above I’m looking for a hub boss to fit my sierra column that goes to a 70mm pcd so I can fit a quick release that I have. The hub I currently have goes to the 100mm mountney which is obviously too big. 
     

    Hoping someone maybe has one thrown in a box? 
     

    Cheers Mike. 

  4. There was also a steel pipe supplied from Robin Hood the had 3 slots to bolt to the rear of this. It was then very crude and had 2 pipes welded to it to form a 90 degree bend. I cut this off about 2 inches from the fixing so I could use that to attach to the filler cap then used a rubber 90 bend.

  5. It could be anything. But the majority of people use a classic mini / landrover wiper set up. Lucas do make these. Have a google and see if they match the look of yours or post a photo of what you have / any part numbers you can see. Cheers. 

  6. As above the light would be more noticeable that been said I don’t have one, I just have the pressure gauge which I prefer as if it starts dropping or I noticed it has dropped off from its normal running position I know there is a fault starting therefore could possibly catch it before I loose all oil pressure as that’s then the light would illuminate. I do tend to regularly keep an eye on it along with my water temp next to it. 

  7. Evening all, I have been having some running issues with my 2.0 pinto running r1 carbs. Start, Tickover and full throttle runs great but when just feathering the throttle to maintain speed or ever so slightly increase speed it splutters randomly. It’s become worse just lately and is more Prominent when the engine is hot. 
     

    now I’ve been thinking it’s a carb related issue but I lifted the bonnet earlier when the car was ticking over and the distributor is wobbling. Almost moving round in a circular motion so I’m thinking the spindle may be bent. Hence causing a missed spark. I’m pretty certain there shouldn’t be any movement with these from side to side? Also noticed there is oil on the base so possibly the o-ring has gone. 
     

    cheers Mike.
