  8. Erratic Indicators

    in Electrics

    Posted

    At a complete guess heating and cooling could change the resistance.

     

    With the the fuel gauge one, what gauges do you have? I have a superspec with the escort dash and my fuel guage does the same. For my problem there are 2 solutions really - colour in the bottom of E to make it a F and paint an extra line in on the F to make it F! Or take the sender out and reverse the connection of where the float meets the sender to reverse the resistance.

     

    Rather than buying a LED relay, if you can wait to the next area meet (I think the Malt Shovel one is nearest) I aim to come to that and can bring mine along and you can try it at the meet.

  11. Shallow Sump For A Superspec

    in Engine

    Posted

    The alloy one of the rover 420 fits, though check you don't already have one fitted the super spec came with different sumps. I have a spare sump as thought I needed one, turned out I didn't just crap ground clearance. The 420 sump is about 11cm. Other solutions should you have the 820 sump is to cut it down and weld a new plate on it. Loads of previous posts about it on here. Pickup needs to be replaced or shortened and also may need new bolts.

     

    I just lifted ride height, and now I have 8.5cm clearance which is great!

     

    Pm if you need a 420 alloy sump.

  14. Suspension

    in Mechanics

    Posted

    The ride height is a guide, the important part is to get rear higher than front and get a height which is drive able (speed bumps) but not too high either. Def worth getting a 4 wheel alignment check done, should cost less than £20. My understanding is shims are for the rear where suspension meets hubs. They are used to correct rear toe and camber. If you measure front toe using rear wheels as guide good chance toe is off as rear will have toe.. Changing ride height will change camber/toe.

    well we just need a couple of fishing rods in the boot

     

    Exempt vehicles:

    'vehicles used by agricultural, horticultural, forestry, farming or fishery undertakings with a maximum design speed not exceeding 40 km/h'

     

    we just won't be able to drive very fast!

     

    Surely that part can just fall off derestricting it :)

  20. Opinions Re Oz Export

    Not sure why he needs v5 or mot. Surely he will have to re register in aus like foreign vehicles here do within 6 months. Re drive to soton, why isn't he using a car transport firm, agree should pay fuel costs/ return costs unless you are near by (poss even your time.) what's the intention to sell letter about? Surely receipt better upon funds transfer. Be careful with funds transfers, they can be reversed. Cash is your friend, or insist transfer into an account (set one up for thus purpose)and withdrawal of funds and deposit into your own account before you release.

     

    It may be genuine, but could be major hassle.....just keeping the deck loaded your way, keep at it (but don't stop advertising car, uk sale easier!)

     

    By 5 bob worth!
