Ive never seen a Campari version.

Did you refit the cylinder head drain bolts?

Yes and Yes

There lots of cheap electric fuel pumps on the market but bought a pacet one. Got the impact kill switch from some company like car builder. Didn't want it to keep pumping fuel if I crashed

I fitted a non return valve but then ended up putting on an electric fuel pump

All soldered back in and working. Thanks everyone

The Sud is all back together and working better than ever now. A lot of work in a domestic garage in the recent heat wave. A big thank you to Darren Ward for selling me a spare gearbox and also for spotting a new nearside caliper on Ebay Italy. Tomorrow the Sud is off to Auto Bodywork Repairs in Bra...

Thanks Lou

Thanks Lou

I forgot to post on here that I had an utter disaster with the Sud last week. The driveshaft came loose whilst driving. I thought I would just be able to replace the broken spacer and replace the bolts. But, unfortunately the caliper bolts have ripped out and broken the the gearbox casing. I did use...

Can anybody tell me which way round these 2 wires go into the plug. They are off the green distributor wire on a Bosch distributor and coil. TIA

Looks brilliant Colin.

I cant wait to see it.

They look fantastic Col

Can't wait to see the car in 2021

The old car service managers saying when you take the car back "they all do that sir!" applies here. I've done everything on mine like you have including putting thicker cables to the alternator and battery. And guess what? The battery light still glows underload

I removed it and made a blanking plate

I changed mine for an electric pump

The cut out should go towards the rear of the car

With regards to the sill trim if you look underneath you should see some clips shaped like a cross. If you carefully turn them 1/8 of a turn (45 degrees) and wiggle them out with a pair of pliers. They are a square peg in a square hole so when fitting they are pushed in and turned an 1/8 of a turn t...

Replaced the lettering on my Sud's air filter box.

Really pleased

Could you not rub a pencil on the sides of the key until you get some graphite powder?

The aftermarket ones fitted never had drain tubes as were just a hole cut in the roof then the sunroof bolted in place, As Keith says, take the glass out and clean the rubber seal and the glass where it sits against the seal. A thin smear of Vaseline won't hurt either. So I believe Kev :D

I think Firstline are part of the old Borg & Beck set up. They have an RDC next to the M40.

I quite like Febi Bilstein, TRW, Brembo, Gates, Dayco, Mintex, EBC, Mann, Bosch, Imasaf, Valeo, Holts, Prestone to name a few.

Has anybody tried to upgrade their windscreen wiper motor by fitting one from a newer car?

There seems to be quite a few universal ones that look similar in size and layout but don't want to take the plunge without checking.

Also has anyone upgraded their washer nozzles?

It definitely needs to be cheaper because it needs lots of work

There you go.

I don't know which engine number but it was about 1982

I'd check the gearbox oil level first

I used Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75w90 in mine.

That's the one!

I strengthened mine by welding them when I had them off the car.

I couldn't believe such a weak looking design could take the force of a Sud cornering hard.

Andrew, as you are a Bilt Hamber fan it is worth spraying the insides of them with Dynax S-50 if you've got some.
