  1. Just direct drive it for instant win. also, checked the filter lately/replaced? Sounds a bit like fluid starvation.
  2. The pushrod from the slave cylinder is adjustable and thats where the problem usually is... Never had to adjust pedals before, hydraulic systems are usually sweet in that department Good idea to flush the fluid out too, bets its blacker than the ace of spades. Wouldnt worry bout double declutching, the synchros in those boxes are tough as plus with 5 metres of throttle cable and two metres of gear linkage, not to mention 3 metres of hydraulic clutch line your never gunna synchronise all three! Wiggle the clutch lever into the gearbox and thats where you should feel the two mm of freeplay 2mm there = alot at the other end...
  3. Skoda, mean!! Had heaps of these over the years 110's 110r's etc all good cars The reputation Skoda got was not deserved, problem was people confused them with Lada's The gearbox is an easy fix, the clutch definitely needs adjustment, get into the compartment behind the back seat, remove the panel covering gearbox and adjust the rod till thers 2ml of freeplay. You'll find the gearbox fill point there as well Drain when hot and fill with Castrol Syntrax. Bet its never been changed, the gearboxes are tough as Trust me i've tried to kill them As with the speedo, definitely a cable lubrication issue, oil it as everytime I greased one it would get worse Then do this or get real mad
  4. Finally got off my arse and did something usefull, Pulled the head off the Humber, had to hang the head from the crane and use a huge hammer repeatedly to remove.. Found a couple of stuck valves and head and block so full of crap I turned the whole driveway rusty brown for days from power washing it out, half the weight now. Got sick of greasy stuff so painted the wheels and whire wooled the hubcaps and chrome, came up alright. Added some Headlamp eyebrows too just for some bling. Sorry bout shit photos, was dark and 3mp is so not cool anymore.. More Started sanding roof as the rust was really eating into it, sprayed black for a test was tossing up between white or black roof. Blacks so the go, rest stays as is. Just need whitewalls, Visor, warrant and sackage then ready for summer!

  7. lovin the lowlight panel.. Such a mean conversion, fit sme Lucas fograngers in there for extra bling. All you need now is one of those alta OHV conversions and a shorrock supercharger for serious OS cool
  8. O and you haven't already check ot the re opus upgrade... Makes a huge difference as they all well and truly stuffed now and can put timing out 10 degrees at any time
  9. Pre HE plus manual = Danger!!! Good shit dude, your brave takin the dash out, talk about the worst job in the world at least you dont have to put the ac back in, was my all time most hated job at Jag...
  10. Mechanical Injection rox my sox off Good to see someone putin it on rather than takin it off, seen too many geezers turn tr5's and the like into gutless heaps with su's ppl are scared of the Lucas injection like its witchcraft Basic as compared to modern systems. Mint trumpy, keen to get another now after seeing your one.
  11. Ha stoned typing strikes again.. 550 seems reasonable but bargain him and do it !!!!!!!!!!!! Its a scientifically proven fact that webers in pairs makes your driving improve tenfold....
  12. Is your iron head or steel???? If steel you will need the iron head, why not put the strombergs on???? Had a Holbay Rapier which uses same motor with twin webers factory and it flew But made my previous one just as fast with basic porting, good extractors and strombergs Not called the hunter grunter for nuthin.. Webers do make a wicked sound that is worth every cent tho
  13. you got workin trafficators?? The Humbers work That thing in parcel tray is a shit as ol fuel cap that came with it, dont know what its off.. Will look in stocks if ya need switch as have lots of ol Lucas and Trico switches for pom gear of same age group B is for Bonnet
  14. Finally fixed Photo's.. Took plugs out today and had to use strong arm bar Wrong plugs were in it about half an inch too short, was told car was parked up as wasn't running right back in the early 80's then left after demise of owner.. Not surprised it didnt run well would be well down in power of which it doesn't have
  15. Picked this up from outer Hamilton, only one owner from new!! Sat for last twenty years even has the carless day sticker still on.... Got running the other day after rebuilding fuel pump, drove around block even has brakes still but clutch rusted up, not enough power to split the two on the road.. 10 hp sidevalve old R.A.C rating tho.. bout thirty of todays ponies. body really straight was going to do a rat rod but going to go for the restored/ mild custom look
