As loo says that's all you get Dave . I wouldn't mind a rear panel for the lights but I've never seen one for sale.

I've not been able to do much for a while but the anoying sound of the exhaust banging away prompted me to get on with this job.

I've Bosch on mine

I miss seeing the RAC rally going through Chatsworth and Clumber.

Do you mean the full strut with shocker insert ?

I have a set of new 33 struts for sale and someone was asking if they would fit his late sprint .

Well I've managed to get My 33 95% running right. I'm not sure if the last 5% is in my head. I got it to where it is by taking it for drives and checking the plugs. They have all now got a nice even color on the tips. It seems I was running a little rich.

I have a set of 33 boge struts for a sports wagon. The question is will they fit on a sprint ?

I always leave my sud in gear when parked just incase the handbrake fails. The 147 was a little different. If it was frosty out I'd leave it in gear with the handbrake off .

Have you tried a new fuel pump . My 33 is better since I fitted one . It's not perfect but better.

I've made a modest donation and hope to be making more of an effort to post more content when I'm better. I suppose a few pounds from a few people will make a great difference

I tried 55s and it totally bogged down. Didn't have time to play so put the 52s back in.

I'm having similar problem to you. How ever I try to set the carbs I'm getting a stumble when at low revs. it goes away at 2800 revs so it's on the idle circuit. It will idle lovely. The problem only shows up when driving. The engine is a 1.7 on 40 dellorto's. It's running 52 idles at the moment. I'...

Thanks Dave I will have a read

I've finally managed to get a set of 40 Dellortos for my 1.7 engine. I've been using 36 Webber's upto now with different jets . It ran pretty well to be honest. I've now rebuild the 40s and the car runs well at idle but stuttered when just off idle. Obviously a weak mixture. I was opening the mixtur...

How to make us all feel old

Lovely car!

Have you tried back flushing the matrix

Managed to do a clutch slave cylinder replacement in under half an hour! Well chuffed! I've spent hours and hours in the past trying to get the circlip back on!

Try looking at mk1 escort wiper arms I'm sure they are the same as the suds
