Re: Snapped Aerial
Before you order it might be worth removing your snapped aerial and measuring the length of the base that the mast collapses into and comparing it. The reason I say this is that I've only ever noticed the factory spec aerial on the nearside, I'm not sure it will fit on the offside due to clearance f...

Re: Question for the builders - garage doors
What make is your garage door Dave? You can get rebuild/repair kits for garage doors which would be worth looking into. I fitted one to a 'Henderson' door (big tensioned spring horizontal across top and small cables down either side) and it got it working as good as new. I was a bit nervous about do...

Re: Brake fluid dripping down steering column cowling
You need to remove the speedo cowling to see where it is coming from and also to make a visual check/top up of the fluid level - especially before you drive to your mechanics.
Get the cover off the speedo and you'll see what's what.

Re: Fuel Expansion Tank Hose
I'm in the process of replacing the tank on mine after the old tank leaked. On removing the old tank I found tiny pin holes on the top left corner, it looks like the wiring loom has sat against the tank here and rubbed through the paint. The holes were hard to spot so if you're planning to keep your...

Re: Oil filter goes pop
Had this on my AAZ, as said it's the oil pressure relief valve in the pick up on the pump. New pump is the way to go.

Re: Swivel balls
It's not a genuine one but will work a lot better with grease added on the track where the ball bearings run (FYI genuine ones have a greased channel).

Re: 1981 T25 1600 Keeps breaking down.
Sounds like the hall sender in the distributor is failing to me. Can you post some pics of your install and do you know the engine code?
