Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3

very recently fitted Hel hoses all round ours, I seem to recall the fronts slide out the slot but had no problem. As the the rear, yes all were tight but I cut it all off and made new metal pipes too seeing as ours has been sat for 20 years or so. The car has not been driven (see other posts!) as ye...

teething problems for our recommission project

We hope to mot our car very shortly and gave it a sneaky test run recently. It starts great hot or cold, idles smooth and with a clean looking exhaust. Compression tests done and seem decent for a long laid up engine. Sat running it runs well, picks up well and sounds good. Idling the fan cuts in an...

Re: Newbies on Surrey Hants borders UK

I did see the viscous coupling in USA, but at that price plus VAT, plus carraige, etc I think leccy fan it would be. It has improved a little with running so may just sort with a little more running. To the carb...........the choke is bit of a joke now I understand what it does, manual pull on with ...

Re: Newbies on Surrey Hants borders UK

Thanks for great help so far, I have haynes manual as of today and a 79 year factory one.
The electric fan is a way to go then.

It has correct red stripe seats too............

So we have an 83 car, which has been long term stored other than being mot's 2 years ago and doing 2 miles since! It is virtuall...
