Really Poor Mileage

Have you tried taking the handbrake off? :D

Only joking but something is not right. I used to have a Series IIA fitted with a 5.7 small block chevy V8 which did more than 17mpg.

Dont give up on it as you'll be happy once its sorted.

Nice one Seeing as I'm changing the handbrake shoes and fitting a Propshaft & Bolts. Thought I might as well change the oilseal at the same time. and speaking of bolts I bought a set of 8 noo uns from DLS and the daft tw*ts sent me 8@ 1" x 3/8unf insted of 4@ 1" and 4@ 1&3/4" so it looks like anuffa visit to scotts is on the cards. Bastids.

Scotts deffo have the bolts an Nyloc nuts. Swan had the seals in stock when I got mine but it might be worth ringing em with the seal sizes. I'll see if I can find the reciept for mine.
 
Do you know how to get the bolts off the transfer box where it connects to the front propshaft? I changed mine the other day and had to use the original ones which were a bit fookd coz i couldn't see a way of getting the bolts out as the tranny flange got in the way!? (tranny flange - how wrong is that??):D
 
Grunt Nice one
OD hang on and I'll have a look in the manual on the rear you have toremove the drum and undo the big nut holding the flange on and then remove a large circlip that stops the bolts from moving. Be warned oil ****es out when you remove the flange.
 
Ta Pikey, i'll have a look at that when i get 'er back from t'welder hopefully tomorrow! I had to chisel the nuts and split em off the bolts cos the spanners just sheared em so i 'spect the bolts ain't too clever now! Front ones came off no problem which was just as well coz it was getting dark! The driveshaft i got off paddocks came with complete new nuts and bolts set so they're ready to go on (well the nuts already are!)
